Whilst reading "The Fall of Reach" and looking at all those screenshots of MC and ODST's in Pelicans above a planet's (i.e. Earth's) atmosphere, i was wondering whether or not a Pelican could actually be a reality in the future?
I mean, it has a fully open Hull, which is fine within a planets atmosphere because it has no immediate danger (except falling out of course, lol!), and provides quick deployment of troops onto a battlefield. But, when it exits a planet's atmosphere, the heat that it will conduct would surely melt/burn all the occupants inside. And also, the pressure exhumed from the speed and velocity in which the craft is exiting at, would surely cuase the craft to implode.
Now forgive me if my physics is not up to scratch - im not one for lecturing the laws of gravity and pressure etc. etc., but have Bungie made an ALMIGHTY mistake in creating a craft not possible of flying, regardless of any future technology we encounter??? becuase apart from this dubious vehicle on which my topic is based, all other technologies for the year 2552, seem more or less fathomable.............or
am i wrong and is there a simple explanation for this???
