So we've got "Per audacia ad astra" both on the Bungie Aerospace page and at the bottom of the beta test information blog post.

It translates roughly to "boldly to the stars".

Compare that to:

"Per ardua ad astra" - "through adversity to the stars" (the motto of Britain's Royal Air Force)

and

"Per aspera ad astra" - "through hardship to the stars" (the motto of NASA)

RAF, NASA and "Aerospace"... sounds pretty intentional to me.

Discuss.

Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll look
A corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.
Win.

Most logical explanation - Bungie are making a flight sim.
It may depict mankind's early attempts at colonisation in the mid-late 22nd century (and the subsequent rainforest wars, which see the rise of the UNSC versus the UN), or their first attempt at extrasolar colonisation with the advent of the SFTE drive in the late 24th century.

Less likely - Bungie are using their descriptions of slipspace and slipspace travel from their books to advise NASA how to build a faster-than-light engine.

Much less likely - Bungie are actually building aircraft now.

Hopefully something in the Halo universe I've grown too attached to leave it now

Sadly, it won't be a Halo game.

Why are people so attached to Halo, that they won't believe that Bungie isn't making Halo

Nope, not gonna happen. 343 owns Halo now.
