Why Bungie chose an eraser for the center piece of their new Aerospace logo is beyond me...

What eraser?

I've got to say: leaving that "coming soon" tag on Aerospace for over a year is ridiculous -- especially since urk confirmed that Bungie would be going dark, way past Bungie Day.

I guess it'll be fun to hear what Bungie's doing for BD this Friday.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

It actually really isn't that ridiculous if you know how Bungie is with their "Coming Soon" statement, even joked around that it's been trademarked by them.

Coming Soon, Bungie terms, means they're working on it, and it's coming. With Bungie quality being on the forefront, soon is definitely a matter of perception.

An example would be our wonderful Search Bar. It took, what, a good 2 years before we got one? After Achronos said, "Coming Soon (TM)"? Yea, usually, when Bungie says "Coming Soon" they don't mean tomorrow soon, they mean, "Don't hold your breath cause you might die", kind of soon.

Bungie's next halo game is coming soon.

It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

Soon means something different to everyone. Soon could be tomorrow, or in three months. Soon is soon.

To someone up there, in latin I don't believe astra is stars, but it is the movement of the heavens. Stars is something else (studying Vergil for GCSEs, it's in there).
I put all my faith in what I read on the internet, specifically Wikipedia. We all know the internet is always correct.

It never lies...

I should have known that Bungie would leave the gaming industry to go to the aviation one. Seriously though, it may be a new branch dealing with a specific game. What ever it may be, we will find out on Bungie day(7/7/11).

Can't we just leave the translation as "To the stars"?

So, it's not a game, and we will find explicitly what it is in the coming weeks... I WANT TO KNOW NOW!

Just a wild guess but what if Bungie decided to use some type of satellite network to improve the next generation of gaming? But then you would have to ask yourself the question what do they gain. It doesnt seem like it would be cost effective.

I kind of doubt that. They are actually a relatively small company when you look at the gaming giants like Microsoft Game Studios. They don't really have the means to get and run their own satellite.

Scroll down just a little bit. In the 'Law Office Assigned' the Law Office is number 117. This is quite interesting...

Lol... to many 117s popping up these days...

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

"Don't eat doughnuts on thin ice."

"The pancake, my friend, has officially been flipped."

Thats soooo cool. They even have their Latin motto all ready to go!

Exi1e 7 at your service how can i assist you...

I am so frustrated by these threads. OP, I am not mad at you, but I am frustrated that there is confusion here. I believe correct information has already been posted here, but I will re-emphasize the truth and solve this once and for all.

"Per audacia ad astra"

Firstly, the way you worded your OP, it sounds like you are using some online Latin translator to make your point about ambiguity. That WILL NOT work. Latin isn't a language like that. It is a heavily inflected language with a very economical vocabulary and a million different grammar constructions to one case. It requires human intelligence to decipher; machines can only attempt.

"Per"

-Preposition with accusative case. It means "through, along", but it can have other meanings. It can be assumed that it means through due to the obvious parallelism with this famous quotation, with which the entire thing is an allusion to.

"Audacia"

-Noun. "Courage", "Daring, "Audacity". It is first declension feminine, which is odd, because it is not in the accusative case as the object of "Per". This is either just a lack of Latin knowledge by Bungie or just because "Per audacia" sounds better than "Per audaciam" or "Per audacias". Either way, the word order and parallelism with the aforementioned phrase demonstrates that this noun is the prepositional object of the preceding word.

"Ad"

-Preposition with accusative. It means "to, towards". It implies physical motion, unlike usage of the Dative case of the referred noun.

"Astra"

-Noun. Astrum -i n. Accusative plural is "a". It means "stars" or "constellation".

Final translation:

To the stars (figurative language) through (audacity/daring/courage).

There aren't too many other ways you could translate it. The oddity with the "audacia" case could also be that it is in ablative using the mean/instrument construction, implying that we are going to do it with and through audacity. I hope there's never any more bothersome confusion about this again.

Well, I'm sure most people are willing to agree that Bungie Aerospace isn't a game, but some sort of network. The question is, what kind of network?

  • 06.24.2011 7:29 AM PDT

per audacia ad astra means boldly going into space.

Not sure if this will help.
