YAY! MY TURN!

They'd be overheating from their hot suit, not space. Space is a vacuum -- you cannot live in it, no oxygen, and it's freezing cold.
Don't be a fool. Space is not freezing cold. Space is a vacuum. It is nothing. It has no molecular motion that creates heat or cold. Again a space suit IN REALITY, has no heating system. It has a liquid cooling system and is highly protected against solar radiation. If anything space is "HOT". If you don't beleived this, go back to high school or check with NASA.... or heck, ask yourself why a vacuum bottle (thermos) keeps food warm. (If space is cold... then my soup should be cold. At least you got the "no oxygen" part right, though you wouldn't suffocate before you died from lack of atmospheric pressure. (A very painful way to die I assure you)
Are you retarded? space is frigid. This right here is is copy-pasted directly from the nasa website: "The entire Universe is filled with the remnants of the Big Bang, in the form of photons (electromagnetic packets). They have cooled down to about 2.7 Kelvin or 2.7 degrees above absolute zero (-270.7 degrees Centigrade). So this is the temperature of space. It can be calculated from the expansion of the Universe, and it has been measured."
Now don't try to tell me that that's not cold. Now as for your soup, Vacuum bottles aren't perfect. they don't stop they transfer of heat, they slow it. Don't tell someone to go check Nasa when you haven't.
The Shields have seperate 'depths', they are always very low on feet and hands to increase traction, but the rest of the body has the shields 'pumped up' all the way.
Conjecture. They never talked about this. I looked for an explanation in First Strike, any explanation for how the shields worked. (I assume plasma guided around the body via a microscopic electro-magnetic weave adjacent to the gel layer. Though, this wouldn't reflect how it works in the games. Using this technology your shields would never go down.)
They didn't talk about it in "First Strike," it was in "Fall Of Reach," page 250: ""It provides full coverage--" Dr. Halsey's voice piped through the speakers. "--and dissipates energy far more efficiently than the Covenant shields the Spartans have recovered, though the shield is concentrated on your arms, head, legs, chest and back. the energy field tapers down to a hair under a millimeter so you don't lose the ability to hold or manipulate items with your hands.""
They NEVER said that it as the first ship to have anti-gravity. They did, however, say that the Covenant ships don't have spinning sections, and that was strange. I never said that the Pillar was the first ship to have anti-gravity. I said that it was ONE of the first ships to possess GRAVITIC PLATING. I'm not going to zip through First Stike again to find the reference but your quote only further shows how recent artificial gravity is to the UNSC. The reference to spinning sections refers to gravity created through centrifugal force which the UNSC had used up to that point.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to accomplish with this. Something about MAC guns? If you're talking about how they fire them, MAC is MAGNETIC ACCELERATOR CANNON. I don't see anything about gravity in there. However, it's more likely that you're talking about in Halo 2 where the station has artificial gravity, and something about lack of time to implement this. However, noone really knows the time gap between Halo and Halo 2. Of course, it had to be long enough to create an entirely new version of MJOLNIR, so they probably had enough time to add a little artificial gravity.
I'll let the pelican bay thing slide because really, that's a nitpick based on what was probably a grammatical error on Nylund's part and I don't want to flip through that book to double check.
Seriously though, if you're going to try and correct people MLG Cheehwawa, do try and know a little bit about what you're talking about. You can stick to quoting science from the books and I'll quite cheerily explain how the real world works.
As for S034, I think you've misplaced your idol worship.
I'm laughing on the inside.
