That must’ve have been the biggest demoralization that the UNSC probably faced ever since Reach. Losing the Infinity that quickly was a severe loss not only to the UNSC but to humanity considering that was at the time their most powerful vessel. Here’s to the sister ship being finished soon.
The books said it well “humanity is innovative, the Covenant is imitative” The Covenant just took Forerunner technology and imitated it. We took Forerunner and Covenant tech, mixed it with our own and made it better.
To be fair that was mostly the Prophet's doing, as they deemed who was allowed to tinker with forerunner tech, and IIRC when they were fighting the elites, part of the reason they were even participating in that conflict was because the elites were using forerunner technology for weapons which the prophets thought was blasphemous. Also considering the fact that basically no race the covenant encountered was able to stand up to them nearly as much as humanity, it can be inferred that the covenant didnt see a need to improve on stuff that was already good enough to slaughter anyone they came across. Even though humanity stood up, covenant weaponry just obliterated their stuff. Metal body armor doesnt do much against 4000 degree plasma. Missiles aren't nearly as effective as light-speed energy beams.

I just thought of something. Given how long this video is; If one were to walk at around 2.5mph/4kph while listening to this, one could walk from the bow to the stern of the UNSC Infinity than an additional 2.5-ishkm/1.5-ishmi back in the other direction.

I was not expecting a deep dive into metallurgy / materials science. As someone who majored in this subject, this was really well done. Awesome work man.
@@Thlormby obviously he's taken some liberties to explain some of the properties that current materials cannot achieve, but overall everything stated seemed plausible and consistent with what I learned in my undergrad.
I remember having an argument with someone and they were arguing that somehow the Death Star could literally outrun a MAC round from a fleet of UNSC ships. He was quoting ridiculous speeds which might be true. But then I just retort “well then explain if it was at the speed of light?” And explained the Infinity. Yeah Star Wars is a space opera, not a military sci-fi.
That's one of the reasons why the second death star had a shield generator. One hit on the Death Star's main reactors would overload the whole thing. Also, while yes the death star could go in hyperspace, the problem is that between jumps there is a recharge period and to recalculate the next jump. The Death Star is indeed slow when it comes to changing directions. It's not its sublight speed that guy quoted, which is slow, it's probably its speed while in hyperspace.
@@AAhmou I should have retorted about how long it took for the Death Star to orbit the planet in episode 4. Even in orbit, it seemed to take forever to get to the moon in sight.

Considering how the Infinity apparently lasted only 4 minutes against the Banished, It makes me wonder just how large of a scale of an attack Atriox pulled when he engaged the UNSC forces at the battle of Zeta Halo.
The game implies that Atriox put literally all the banished against it, I could be reading into that though. I’d like to see a breakdown of Atriox’s ships. The audio files did make it clear it was largely the element of surprise though, the Infinity wasn’t even able to deploy its onboard fleet before they were boarded. But certainly, knowing this and watching the infinity get demolished really puts that scene into perspective.
The banished were able to defeat the infinity with ease bc they had an ace in the hole. What chief and lasky and the rest could never have known is that the devs ran out of money so the banished had a massive advantage, slicing through impregnable defenses like tissue paper. And then after leading the most massive off screen attack ever orchestrated Atriox stubbed his toe and died of gangrene 20 minutes later leaving behind a voice actor who was more available to lead his army
We might see the how in the next installment or in a spin-off. Considering Atriox had a connection with The Harbinger who gave the Banished access to Forerunner technology. I would guess that Atriox didn't have to board the Infinity using force but perhaps by slipping inside using said Forerunner tech. I say this because we were told that Forerunner tech is still leagues better than Human tech.
@@Anxiou5Panda It may also open the door to the possibility of Atriox hacking into the ships systems and thus why they may not have been prepared either because their system's were sabatoged or tricked. Taking into consideration what you brought up that could be another reason.
@@backyardshenanagins1720 Yeah, that's a possibility too.

Such a beautiful and grand ship. One of the best things to come from the 343 games in my opinion. The books are way better though. After reading some of the books and learning the lore, q lot of people say it ruins the eerieness and mystery. For me, it adds a new sickening layer of eerieness and new mysteries. Mostly I wonder the old structures of the foruneers and think: "AM I standing in the last place a forerunner stood? What were the forerunners here thinking of when the rings activated? Were they thinking about their lives with regret or pride?" And so on. As for the Infinity, I love many of the mysteries behind how they reverse engineered forerunner and covenant tech to build such a massive and powerful ship. It makes me wonder if the war would have continued, would humanity have built more of these ships while they hunt the remaining Civenant and recolonize space? So many question! I can't wait to learn more!

Man it felt so weird seeing the manufacturing process of titanium alloy, around the time this video was published I did a giant essay explaining how TI64 (one of the most common and useful titanium alloys) is made, it's structure, quemical, mechanical and electrical properties, applications, alternatives of manufacturing and all that, I wish I had seen this video at the time, many of the questions I had during this investigation where explained perfectly here xD absolutely brilliant video
Did you know that metallurgists are working on a titanium cross section that would be formed similar to plywood? The strength of the metal is longitudinal. ie along the long axis of the metal as it was formed. with the metal in flux at a temperature that I do not know the metal is cross layered. This gives the metal a very strong structure on multiple axis. I would assume that in 2550 that the game is set in this process, or its like, has been improved to the point where more than the current two axis can be processed at a time. The armor would then be able to withstand hits from energy and concussive weapons even at the level of the Covenant. Then as the technology and metallurgy continues to improve the metal would be quicker to manufacture giving the UNSC the ability to put the armor on ships of the size of the Infinity fast. Otherwise the build time would be measured in decades.
Watching this video just marvels me and the amount work, research and hypotheses that were put into this video is staggering. My high school physics teacher would've loved this video and we would discuss the details and the 'what if' capabilities that were presented.
This reminds me of the SDF-3. A deep space explorer built by humans. Incorporating alien Zentradi and Invid technology that they understand. But aren't entirely used to. And the construction of Infinity addresses my biggest problem with Star Trek Into Darkness. How do you build a giant ship. With massive construction crews and the resources to build three regular ships. Without an oversite committee realizing it?
Probably the same way they abducted 75 children almost simultaneously. Deceit, deception, denial, and misdirection. Think about the development of real world aircraft. F-22, F-35 and the like. They were in the air flying, the US govt deniedit, and people thought they were UFOs. Now consider the amount of space available to the UNSC i general, and ONI specifically. Add that possible amount of space, with communications blackouts,amd the fact that the people working on building it lived on location, and weren't allowed to leave, and it starts to get easier to see how they hid it. Also, in no way was this meant as a sarcastic or negatice response.
Oh boy this is the best video on your channel. The other Infinity vid was good, but you adding all the parts you relegated to the Archive is just *Chefs Kiss* what this channel is all about!
I mean this in the politest way but I’ve just put this on and fallen asleep listening to it. It was the most peaceful sleep I’ve had. I woke up a few times, listened to some interesting facts, and fell asleep again. This is bliss.
wow....i mean WOW. I am impressed. i am really just blown tf away seriously. GREAT VIDEO. the amount of work you put into this was no doubt a massive undertaking. you really got deep into the physics equations which are not for the faint of heart and you articulated it all very well. REALLY GOOD thank you for this video!
If him and his ship made it past halo 1 probably not they might just keep upgrading it. But if he made it and his ship didn't I think there would be a high chance of him being captain of the infinity cause he is a very good captain in the halo universe
With those calcs you gave, pretty much easy to say a frigate in the unsc could effectively end a world if it wanted to. As long as its uncontested and has a lot of bullets
Yeah basically...a single frigate shot is like 2-3 gigaton yield every shot...the larger rounds are 10 gigatons a shot and a odp is roughly 50 gigaton shot...Idk what the infinity is..but probably 4-many times higher than the odps..
CORRECTION: Humans have indeed forged metal alloys under accelerations higher than 1 standard gravity. Spin-forging can exert an arbitrary amount of acceleration onto an item being forged -- tens, hundreds, even thousands of standard gravities. That said, the effect is not noticeably different from simple pressure-forging. What we HAVEN'T been able to do yet is forge metal alloys under accelerations LESS than 1 standard gravity. We can't add to the acceleration of Earth's gravity, but we can't cancel it out.
Imma take a wild guess that whoever created the lore of the armor used on UNSC ships, they took inspiration from WW1 and WW2 surface vessel armor types: Grade A and Grade B armor plate. Grade A is face hardened and is extremely tough and hard, but more brittle compared to Grade B, which is more malleable and ductile.
This is insanely detailed & meticulously researched. Unfrigginbelievable. You might have a problem, dude. And I love it. Gimmie more, gimmie more lore! :)
Can you imagine if they can get a favor from Spark and get a Forerunner seed upgrade with a shard, integrated into the Infinity with hard light technology
Can someone please explain to me how a 6km spaceship can hover over a city without its antigravity generators crushing all the people below it into a thin red smear?
Because anti-gravity is tuning to an existing magnetic field to where you anchored in it. Now if you using a directional based propulsion to fight gravity your on to something. Just remember distributed forces. Such a method basically vtol is going to be optimized for distribution. Meaning you need to be in the cone of its effective wake to be affected.
Did well on the description of materials science and engineering here, couldn’t have said it better myself with my MEng and EngD in materials engineering of aerospace applications 👏🏻
In most ways the UNSC Infinity does while only half the size it maximizes its utility. One of the things from a Navy standpoint is that this is one of the few large scale ships that actually makes sense for its size. It's capabilites and mission justify
Dude how are you this smart in all this knowledge? are you a freaking scientist or something IRL who does these videos in his spare time? Honestly I couldn't even understand half of that technobabble and I've got a pretty good grasp of a lot of knowledgeable stuff.
I love your videos, keep up the incredible work, much respect to you for the lengths you go for these videos. 343 would really benefit if they hired you.
How many hours and narration rough drafts does a heady info dump like this require? Probably something absolutely ridiculous. I have been waiting for this comprehensive and “complete” Infinity breakdown. Albeit, your voice has a borderline monotone property to it, I really enjoy your meticulous gleaning of all the tiny intricacies of the plethora of Halo-verse space vessels coupled with how you expound these details. Keep up the hard work.
wasn't it four Banished Dreadnoughts that took out the Infinity in a surprise attack when its shields were down? Even if it took "4 minutes" to take out Infinity it required an ambush assault by 4 dreadnoughts to capitalize on the Infinity's more vulnerable state. Infinity was humanity's greatest and finest ship to date, but it's war and the Covenant have lost even bigger ships like the 'Long Night of Silence' during the Fall of Reach battle. That super carrier was 29 km long, the UNSC had nothing in its fleet or numbers to counter it and required a nuclear bomb to go off inside of it to be destroyed. It requires significant things and circumstances to take down monsters of capital ships like the Infinity and 'Long Night of Solace' and they at least go down spectacularly.
Man kind at that time was enjoying the abundance of resources thanks to the discovery and mastery of ion pulse energy that goes beyond nuclear energy and cleaner.
I think we see a nod to the gravitics idea in the infinite trailer where it appears Halsey is designing new Mark VI armor for Chief It is being assembled in a space station in orbit and the parts are suspended in place while being assembled
My maintainer ass is watching this and going, "There's no way the inspections and maintenance of this stuff is caught up with..." While I don't speak for every maintainer, keeping everything on the up and up yearly is really fucking hard these days let alone on the scale of something like Infinity. Even scaling back to the Pillar of Autumn it's still has to be an absolutely herculean effort to keep up with all that maintenance. Whoever is the MXG/CC aboard Infinity deserves a fucking award outright just for taking on such a work load, and I hope those Marines are well appreciated.
an amazingly in depth review of this beast & thank you for it but it does has me wondering about what the next version of unsc ships will be upon the unsc full investigation of the ancient human ship?
Ive always really wanted like a forerunner sage style pov chapter of what the Didact was thinking as he scanned infinities systems and learned about the modern era
The armor plates are so large, they were most certainly manufactured at the same facility in Sols Oort Cloud that built the ship. A ship that size would literally be impossible to build on most if not all planets surfaces, meaning both the ship, and the massive plates were both manufactured in Zero G. It's also worth noting that the UNSC Infinity smashes through the NECK of the covenant cruiser, which is literally the weakest part of the ship, looking at its structure, so probably didn't have nearly the same impact on the Infinity that it would've had that crashed into the front or the back of the ship. Yeah, you looked up the entire mass of the covenant ship, but but its varies in shape drastically, with way more weight and mass in the rear, where the Infinity is fairly uniform throughout its entire body. So the neck was literally the weakest point on the ship, and easy for something with evenly distributed mass to crash through.
This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
When you have the whole project fully researched, would you be open to the idea of creating more helmets? What you are doing is amazing and innovation like this is how the world is going to move forward. I would greatly like to own a helmet or even eventually a suit myself as many Halo fans would. Between your knowledge and in-depth lore and the mechanics and science of the world, I truly believe we could eventually create several, if not all of the innovations in the Halo universe.
The like to view ratio on your videos is WAY to low!!! Should defo be close to 1:1 ... That being said, love your content. Keep up the good work and stay safe
I can only imagine the black ops ONI would put Infinity through, if not for Fleet Com owning the ship. I know ONI has their part in the ship. But to think of ONI commanding Humanity’s culmination of achievement is almost…terrifying. The Infinity is my favorite ship, mainly because of its flagship status, and the lore surrounding it. But I’d like to imagine the black ink on the ship if ONI had commanded the vessel alone. Also, the Infinity DOES have a sister, the Eternity. Now, considering the Infinity’s state, what if Humanity saw it fit to complete the Eternity, and what if the Eternity was operated by ONI this time around? The failure to counter the surprise attack from Atriox was a massive blow to the UNSC, which is an understatement, to say the least. The Infinity being under the command of Fleet Com, what if ONI used that as leverage to command the Eternity, and outfit the Eternity with cloak tech, or technology Humanity has NO knowledge of, besides those under the blanket of ONI?

Add that possible amount of space, with communications blackouts,amd the fact that the people working on building it lived on location, and weren't allowed to leave, and it starts to get easier to see how they hid it. Also, in no way was this meant as a sarcastic or negatice response.
the answer lies in oni my friend
I'm not going to lie I was hyped when I saw this massive mother 🤣😂
Oh boy this is the best video on your channel.
The other Infinity vid was good, but you adding all the parts you relegated to the Archive is just *Chefs Kiss* what this channel is all about!
Forerunners: Awww how cute. They finally reaches Destroyer Class.
I mean this in the politest way but I’ve just put this on and fallen asleep listening to it.
It was the most peaceful sleep I’ve had.
I woke up a few times, listened to some interesting facts, and fell asleep again. This is bliss.
why is his voice so calming and relaxing its amazing i just love finding videos and playing them while im doing something
Can we appreciate the insane amount of work that went into this video? I feel like I have a masters in metallurgy after watching this.
I've been looking forward to thi- where's the damn rock?! We're supposed to share @Installation00
And the two sticks.
@@Plastikdoom That will have to be a separate breakdown. You know how our guy can be with the details. Have you ever heard the tale of Titanium 50...?
@@ClassicMagicMan ; That's why there needs to be an individual breakdown for each of those two sticks individually.
@@NovoCognition You know he'd do it, too.
wow....i mean WOW. I am impressed. i am really just blown tf away seriously. GREAT VIDEO. the amount of work you put into this was no doubt a massive undertaking. you really got deep into the physics equations which are not for the faint of heart and you articulated it all very well. REALLY GOOD thank you for this video!
If Captain Keyes survived the war do you think that he would have been made captain of the infinity?
If him and his ship made it past halo 1 probably not they might just keep upgrading it. But if he made it and his ship didn't I think there would be a high chance of him being captain of the infinity cause he is a very good captain in the halo universe
@@j.j.r9964 i miss keyes honestly
With those calcs you gave, pretty much easy to say a frigate in the unsc could effectively end a world if it wanted to. As long as its uncontested and has a lot of bullets
Yeah basically...a single frigate shot is like 2-3 gigaton yield every shot...the larger rounds are 10 gigatons a shot and a odp is roughly 50 gigaton shot...Idk what the infinity is..but probably 4-many times higher than the odps..
The UNSC Infinity is over 3 miles long. That's absolutely nuts!
Oh my god, my prayers were answered! I didn’t realize your previous video was an old video and that we were getting the super cut!! Thank you!
CORRECTION: Humans have indeed forged metal alloys under accelerations higher than 1 standard gravity. Spin-forging can exert an arbitrary amount of acceleration onto an item being forged -- tens, hundreds, even thousands of standard gravities. That said, the effect is not noticeably different from simple pressure-forging.
What we HAVEN'T been able to do yet is forge metal alloys under accelerations LESS than 1 standard gravity. We can't add to the acceleration of Earth's gravity, but we can't cancel it out.
i did not know i needed a Third Infinity Break down until well... i got it
Notification comes through.
Me: SUPER CUT!!!
Imma take a wild guess that whoever created the lore of the armor used on UNSC ships, they took inspiration from WW1 and WW2 surface vessel armor types: Grade A and Grade B armor plate. Grade A is face hardened and is extremely tough and hard, but more brittle compared to Grade B, which is more malleable and ductile.
This is insanely detailed & meticulously researched. Unfrigginbelievable.
You might have a problem, dude. And I love it. Gimmie more, gimmie more lore! :)
Can you imagine if they can get a favor from Spark and get a Forerunner seed upgrade with a shard, integrated into the Infinity with hard light technology
You never failed to amaze me with your breakdown
This breakdown incorporated much more real world science than I expected, and as a sciency guy I respect that.
Sir, have my sub for this massive effort. Please keep doing this.
1:10:16 this image is my favourite part of halo lore and should get it own dedicated video
Man, listening to you rattling this stuff off, you're a genius 👏🏻
Can someone please explain to me how a 6km spaceship can hover over a city without its antigravity generators crushing all the people below it into a thin red smear?
Rule of cool?
Because anti-gravity is tuning to an existing magnetic field to where you anchored in it. Now if you using a directional based propulsion to fight gravity your on to something. Just remember distributed forces. Such a method basically vtol is going to be optimized for distribution. Meaning you need to be in the cone of its effective wake to be affected.
Found ur channel recently, it's nerdy af and I LOVE it. Spartan, you got a new subscriber.
FANTASTIC JOB BRO! I was working while listening to this, and I was really into it.
My favorite late night video type with a stellar narrator, dunno why I didn’t subscribe before but I have now.
This why I am subbed. THIS content is just incredible. Keep it up 00.
Did well on the description of materials science and engineering here, couldn’t have said it better myself with my MEng and EngD in materials engineering of aerospace applications 👏🏻
Almost two hour breakdown for Infinity. A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one.
Sounds like I'm getting a briefing from a Smart A.I........I love it!
At one point I forgot I was watching a breakdown video of the UNSC Infinity, and got confused by the random Halo footage LMFAO
Hell yeah man, epic, thanks for the great, super cut. Awesome watch as I do stuff around the house.
exactly! Thats what I do too!
Jesus, a 2 hour video lol
Done went and made a feature length film about the Infinity
Fun fact the Infinity is about the size and Tonnage of Bretai's command ship from SDF Macross.
I'm waiting for the UNC to surpass The CSO-Class Supercarrier
In most ways the UNSC Infinity does while only half the size it maximizes its utility. One of the things from a Navy standpoint is that this is one of the few large scale ships that actually makes sense for its size. It's capabilites and mission justify
Dude how are you this smart in all this knowledge? are you a freaking scientist or something IRL who does these videos in his spare time? Honestly I couldn't even understand half of that technobabble and I've got a pretty good grasp of a lot of knowledgeable stuff.
I love your videos, keep up the incredible work, much respect to you for the lengths you go for these videos. 343 would really benefit if they hired you.
Love it. I feel like im getting my daily fix of material science again!
How many hours and narration rough drafts does a heady info dump like this require? Probably something absolutely ridiculous. I have been waiting for this comprehensive and “complete” Infinity breakdown. Albeit, your voice has a borderline monotone property to it, I really enjoy your meticulous gleaning of all the tiny intricacies of the plethora of Halo-verse space vessels coupled with how you expound these details. Keep up the hard work.
I've learned more about science from this channel then school
Who would win? Humanity’s greatest ship to date or a couple rammy bois?
wasn't it four Banished Dreadnoughts that took out the Infinity in a surprise attack when its shields were down?
Even if it took "4 minutes" to take out Infinity it required an ambush assault by 4 dreadnoughts to capitalize on the Infinity's more vulnerable state.
Infinity was humanity's greatest and finest ship to date, but it's war and the Covenant have lost even bigger ships like the 'Long Night of Silence' during the Fall of Reach battle.
That super carrier was 29 km long, the UNSC had nothing in its fleet or numbers to counter it and required a nuclear bomb to go off inside of it to be destroyed.
It requires significant things and circumstances to take down monsters of capital ships like the Infinity and 'Long Night of Solace' and they at least go down spectacularly.
A giant battering ram with engines driven by space monkeys.
There was so much potential with the infinity. To just destroy it off screen is crazy.
the infinity is the coolest thing to come out of 343 halo up to this moment.
Man kind at that time was enjoying the abundance of resources thanks to the discovery and mastery of ion pulse energy that goes beyond nuclear energy and cleaner.
This is where the fun begins
Two hours!? Lemme put the kettle on. This will be a ride. 😍
The details you talk about are incredible u should do the covenant CSO supper carrier
I laughed when you said " by forerunner standards she only classifies as a destroyer" lol
This guy might become the “next” dr. Halsey
Thank you for making this!
Seriously a dope ass narrative intro!
Crazy how one guy knows halo lore better than the company that makes halo.
Anyone who's seen halo infinites opening cutscene knows what I'm talking about^
@@calebfletcher7528 I don’t understand
To quote Johnson “it’s tough but it ain’t invincible.”
I think we see a nod to the gravitics idea in the infinite trailer where it appears Halsey is designing new Mark VI armor for Chief
It is being assembled in a space station in orbit and the parts are suspended in place while being assembled
Supercut video feels a lot like an engineering class lecture I don't mind pay attention to for 2 hours
My maintainer ass is watching this and going, "There's no way the inspections and maintenance of this stuff is caught up with..."
While I don't speak for every maintainer, keeping everything on the up and up yearly is really fucking hard these days let alone on the scale of something like Infinity. Even scaling back to the Pillar of Autumn it's still has to be an absolutely herculean effort to keep up with all that maintenance. Whoever is the MXG/CC aboard Infinity deserves a fucking award outright just for taking on such a work load, and I hope those Marines are well appreciated.
Damn man, been away from this channel for a bit. Shit looks really good, even your voice has changed since then
an amazingly in depth review of this beast & thank you for it but it does has me wondering about what the next version of unsc ships will be upon the unsc full investigation of the ancient human ship?
Ive always really wanted like a forerunner sage style pov chapter of what the Didact was thinking as he scanned infinities systems and learned about the modern era
The infinity registers as a mere destroyer to the forerunners
You deserve far more subscribers
I am also wondering how the lower decks did not get crushed when it crashed on the shieldworld.
It didn't truly crash. It did it's best for a smooth landing...
RCS: travelling through space and mind her business
Infinity: boop...BOOM
The armor plates are so large, they were most certainly manufactured at the same facility in Sols Oort Cloud that built the ship. A ship that size would literally be impossible to build on most if not all planets surfaces, meaning both the ship, and the massive plates were both manufactured in Zero G.
It's also worth noting that the UNSC Infinity smashes through the NECK of the covenant cruiser, which is literally the weakest part of the ship, looking at its structure, so probably didn't have nearly the same impact on the Infinity that it would've had that crashed into the front or the back of the ship. Yeah, you looked up the entire mass of the covenant ship, but but its varies in shape drastically, with way more weight and mass in the rear, where the Infinity is fairly uniform throughout its entire body. So the neck was literally the weakest point on the ship, and easy for something with evenly distributed mass to crash through.
This was awesome. You should be writing for 343 buddy
In the shadows of reach book it is stated that the Mac fires a shot at 25% the speed of light
This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
When you have the whole project fully researched, would you be open to the idea of creating more helmets? What you are doing is amazing and innovation like this is how the world is going to move forward. I would greatly like to own a helmet or even eventually a suit myself as many Halo fans would. Between your knowledge and in-depth lore and the mechanics and science of the world, I truly believe we could eventually create several, if not all of the innovations in the Halo universe.
I found your little Easter egg you put in the video of someone's face 🤣🤣🤣 was not expecting that
Should start a series on all the WMD's used in halo (NOVA Bombs, Fusion reactor meltdown , etc.).Curious what the upper limit is.
I've been looking forward to this
Holy shit, great video man!!
Thank you!
The like to view ratio on your videos is WAY to low!!! Should defo be close to 1:1 ... That being said, love your content. Keep up the good work and stay safe
New Autum class could have Energy Shields, or new beefier versions of of that gun class.
Needing less of them.
And I’m supposed to believe it died in under five minutes to 4 ships.
I can only imagine the black ops ONI would put Infinity through, if not for Fleet Com owning the ship. I know ONI has their part in the ship. But to think of ONI commanding Humanity’s culmination of achievement is almost…terrifying.
The Infinity is my favorite ship, mainly because of its flagship status, and the lore surrounding it. But I’d like to imagine the black ink on the ship if ONI had commanded the vessel alone.
Also, the Infinity DOES have a sister, the Eternity. Now, considering the Infinity’s state, what if Humanity saw it fit to complete the Eternity, and what if the Eternity was operated by ONI this time around? The failure to counter the surprise attack from Atriox was a massive blow to the UNSC, which is an understatement, to say the least.
The Infinity being under the command of Fleet Com, what if ONI used that as leverage to command the Eternity, and outfit the Eternity with cloak tech, or technology Humanity has NO knowledge of, besides those under the blanket of ONI?
UNSC Infinity: The Movie
As for crater size sanghelios has a higher gravity than earth so that might affect the 7 mile crater
you went full nerd out bro....you never go full nerd out
