Great reasoning and solid use of facts, but I can't buy it for many of the reasons stated above.
That being said, the whole moon concept is a bit ridiculous as well. Granted, it would be cool as crap to play a few levels on the moon, but think about the logistics.
You need to get to the ark now; the ark is in the moon; the moon doesn't pass overhead for another two months; crap, screwed that one up.
Of course the structure resembles Delta Halo; both were constructed by the Forerunners.
And for everyone who has said that humans are Forerunners... you're WRONG, Bungie has all but said that humans are not Forerunners, and some simple logic on the matter proves that point definitively. I'm not saying that Forerunners didn't have a say in our evolution, or that they didn't put a genetic marker in some or all humans, or whatever (I actually believe that humans were a slave race to Forerunners, but I'm not retyping that theory here), but Forerunners were NOT HUMAN.
Finally, what would be the point of building or placing a Halo inside Earth's crust? Your theory of it guaranteeing use of the Halos in last resort measures doesn't work for several reasons. First, Forerunners weren't human and clearly did not call Earth home. Second, Earth is within at least Alpha Halo's firing range and probably others, so having one on Earth is moot (if you really want proof of this I can get you a link to a great theory on the matter... actually, not even a theory, a fact analysis).
Solid work, great analysis, but I disagree.
Well, regret wanted was on Earth and he probably wanted to activate the Ark, but since the moon wasn't in the right position, he couldn't do it so he resorted to activating Delta Halo, 'cept MC stopped him. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe the grav lift leads somewhere else than the moon. I do admit that the moon thing is a tad far-fetched.
