Subject: Is Current Technology Catching Up With Halo

Now this may be a little off topic of Halo:ODST but i just wanted to make a point.

I was watching the Science channel Yesterday and it was about colonazation of one of Jupider's moons Colisto and said Rocket Fuel couldn't get us there. So the host guy went to one of NASA's labs and they said they were experimenting with plasma (the 4th state of matter) and they already had a working prototype and that they only needed to fix a couple things and they could use it in only a matter of time. Now i know in 2001 when bungie made the halo series this was not so, but still isnt it possible that our technology could catch up with halo before 2525?

You need to stop playing Halo to go this far with it.

This is a science fiction game.
Which mean it's game who use science but greatly advanced it from our time (which make the fiction)
Science fiction. as they are all based on science, are working under the physics laws which make them propable and might become true in a few years.

Once again you need to stop playing Halo and the Scientists need to think of something else to do as its just a FREAKING GAME

Inevitably, there will be parts of halo technology that will become useful in our society. Now are we going to be seeing scorpion tanks and SPNKR missiles in the future, most likely not, but certain aspects, like the ability to use fusion to make power will become available.

In fact, plasma is the only way to make a fusion reaction (because of the high temperatures and pressures). Therefore, people have been attempting to control plasma since they've been attempting to control fusion.

Not only that, but currently we are at the point of a break-even fusion reaction. In the past, we've never been able to get more energy out of a fusion reaction that put into while controlling it. Well now we use about the same energy as we make and it's expected that within the next few years we will be able to control the reaction such that we gain energy from it.

BTW, this is kinda off topic

why do the scientists need to do something else?

yeah cause i'm sure the people at NASA are basing their research into this on Halo

The Halo universe is a large collection of fiction and back story. It would be a tad simple-minded to only refer to the entire franchise as 'just a game'.

What Halo isnt a game now?

Yes because I look in the sky and see The Ark and a Halo Ring.

Yes halo is a game, but much of the physics and science of that game is based off of real world laws. So even though the forerunners may not exist and the Ark isn't sitting in the sky for us to look at doesn't mean that our science can co-exist with halo science.

In fact it's bound to happen since they're based on the same scientific laws. There will inevitably be some crossover of our science and halo science

Now this may be a little off topic of Halo:ODST but i just wanted to make a point.

I was watching the Science channel Yesterday and it was about colonazation of one of Jupider's moons Colisto and said Rocket Fuel couldn't get us there. So the host guy went to one of NASA's labs and they said they were experimenting with plasma (the 4th state of matter) and they already had a working prototype and that they only needed to fix a couple things and they could use it in only a matter of time. Now i know in 2001 when bungie made the halo series this was not so, but still isnt it possible that our technology could catch up with halo before 2525?


First: Jupiter, not Jupider

Second: Plasma based rocket prototypes have existed for nearly 20 years now. Even yet though a plasma drive is inefficient despite the power it could provide. Other types of engines that are being developed are laser based solar sails, Fusion rockets and quite literally anti matter engines. Surprisingly enough the technology here that is closest to working is anti-matter. it exists and we can produce it and even use and store it safely. The only issue here is making anti-matter in large quantities quickly.

Third: Even though we would never consider using conventional means to reach Callisto for a manned mission, conventional rockets are very capable of getting there.

Fourth: though this show may of been about establishing a colony on Callisto(a moon that would make for a decent colony after many many years) we are planning a colony on the Moon (Luna) long before this happens. Luna would likely become a staging and launch platform for long range missions to reduce fuel costs.

Fifth: Despite the fact that the Science channel/ Discovery are meant to be educational in nature, i tend not to trust them much as a reliable source of information ever since I saw a show that depicted the entirety of Canada as literally living in igloos in -40 eating blubber and beating seals for sport. I'm sorry I live in Canada, and I've lived in LA as well and yes it's colder, but not by too much and we live a very similar lifestyle. those channels offer as much misinformation as they offer fact.

Sixth: Yes i believe it to be very likely that our technology will catch up to the Halo level of Tech long before 2552. Common miniature mac connons exist today.

Good day. I'm an active and fairly enthusiastic member of the Bungie fan-base and pride myself on many qualities. If you want to send me a PM, go right ahead. No I won't spam your inbox with group invites, I will respond in the best way possible. Thank you, and as I had opened, I'll close - good day.

God, can someone just ban this retard? He's just crapping nonsense all over this thread. And anyway, this isn't an idea, the OP's making a reflection upon events.

Alrighty then, OP, I am personally very interested to see where the future's going. My science teacher last year said that "they" were working a plasma generator that was the size of a microwave that could potentially power a whole city. People these days, eh? Amazing

Well, seeing as your critically refuting the OP, I thought I should just point out that it's "may have", not "may of"

Yes, but they should reconsider using anti-matter. They are just the recipe to destroy the fabric of time and space you know.

So yeah, technology is catching up with halo.
