With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.
The Master Chief is in a cryo tube because, normally, all non-UNSC personel (that aren't required to run the ship) are put into a cryogenic sleep. Although slipspace (UNSC's mode of "faster than light" travel) greatly reduces the time required to travel between stars, it still takes days, weeks, maybe even months. Cryo sleep is a way of making it so the person does not lose precious minutes of his life during interstellar travel. The Master Chief is non-UNSC personel, so they put him in cryogenic sleep as well.
The Chief is probably about 2 meters tall, I think (over 6 feet). And, without his special armor, he is much stronger than a normal human (due to chemical and physical enhancements). With the armor on, he's strong enough to flip over a Warthog with one hand.
I know most of you know this, but this is for BigRudy's sake.
