What I can't understand is why they didn't send out Lunamaria with a long-range rifle or larger beam cannon? She always used to use the big heavy cannon, now they give her the standard dueling shield and smaller rifle? (And ORB sends no long range units either...)
I also tend to trust Wikepedia. Answers.com is decent too. Then again, trusting ANYTHING, Internet, written, spoken word 100% is idiocy.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
Well, as for Orb, they sent the units they had. It was either Murasames or Astrays. Akatsuki was damaged and had probably already been taken somewhere for repairs so it wouldn't be able to launch quickly, and SF and IJ were busy playing with Legend and Destiny. Of course I don't think IJ could have gone anyways considering Athrun's condition.Originally posted by: masamuneehs

Though now that I think about it, Akatsuki's backpack is supposed to be detachable so maybe they could have sent that by remote.
Well one other thing I didn't understand was the Murusames... don't they have air to air missiles... but ah... whatever.
I doubt there are ANY missiles that are fast enough to catch a shuttle in mid launch once it is up to speed. They would have just wasted the missles. With Earth's gravity, take-off speed has to be high.

For Earth-Moon transit (where Djibril is heading) you have to achieve 11.2km/sec in order to escape Earth's gravity well. Of course shuttle could accelerate to 11.2km/sec after achieving low-Earth orbit.
Are you agreeing with me or arguing against what I said? It sounds like you agree, but I can't tell for sure.Originally posted by: Marcis
