In Response To: Absurd Length (Cody Miller)

: Is this right? 142 km?

Yep.

: I can buy that Halo is so huge, because Halo doesn't move and have to propel
: itself. The laws of physics are the laws of physics, and creating
: something this big that can move around would require a metric crap ton of
: energy.

: Sort of like the Infinity being completely unfeasible to take off into orbit.

We've accepted all sorts of flagrant violations of established physics for the sake of a good story or at least a setting with all sorts of neat stuff, FTL travel and insanely huge spaceships being among them. The Death Star I was actually a starship, not a space station, yet we aren't bothered by the fact that the 120-km behemoth could travel through space via its own propulsion. Did you have the same problem with High Charity being mobile as shown in Halo 2 & 3? If so, just repeat the MST3K Mantra:
