: Remember that the Infinity was built using materials from the Kuiper belt.

: "But out there, where the Sun's wan light is as frozen and distant and
: pale as a specter, we lit our last torch."

: I mean I'm no expert, but I'm sure even the elements/minerals etc not
: available in the Kuiper belt could have been shipped in from other sources
: without gravity wells throughout the UNSC.

: And as for the cost, it should be noted that labor could be obtained much
: more efficiently and cheaply when humanity's extinction was imminent.

: All in all, the Infinity's construction makes more sense than floating
: frigates. Though both are pretty awesome.

I was waiting for someone to mention it. :)
