      @@tfw8738 Honestly, the fact that it's difficult to tell from context whether it's a sanitized technical description of a space maneuver or a dramatically laconic description of an extraplanetary nuclear exchange lend to the impact of the phrase. Sort of suggests the confusion that you'd expect in the opening hours of a war.

    • @fernandomarques5166

      ​​@@nf359it certainly feels like a tone change marker.
      IMO there's two possibilities:
      - Luna being a location on the Moon
      - Luna being the Moon itself
      Luna is Russian for "Moon" so it wouldn't be far fetched saying the Soviet Base on the Moon would be called that, what puts of this theory is the fact that the sentence "Luna burns" shows up before the video tells us that the Soviet Base on on the Moon's North Pole is attacked by the QRF.
      As for the second option, "Luna" is also latin for Moon, by using the latin word for moon and pairing it with "burns" it sets the tone very well that there's no going back from the point that Horizon LSS was destroyed, the cogs of war are now turning, the moon is now a battlefield, so it burns metaphorically and literally (nuclear fire).

    • @clockworkowl6248
      @clockworkowl6248 8 месяцев назад +28

      ​@@fernandomarques5166 Terra and Luna tends to be used in SF to specifically refer to the Planet Earth and the Earth's Moon because the rest of the planet names are in latin(ish) and uncapitalized words have other meaning that may be used in same context(especially "moon" that can mean any natural satellite)
      Also, burn as orbital maneuver isn't usually paired with just the nearest celestial body.
      So it is indeed more likely to be a dramatic phrase.

      They are meant to do two things:
      - Long-ranged antiship combat
      - Nuclear bombardment of planets and moons.

    Imagine if you will, being an amateur astronomer on a warm summer night in July of 1997.
    The band of the Milky Way galaxy is overhead on the southern sky. Dazzling stars and dark nebulae stretch overhead past zenith. You instantly recognize two dimly lit blue stars: Neptune and Uranus. A noticeably bright star to the left was Jupiter, punching through the Moon's glow during it's waning gibbous phase. Finally, Saturn slowly rising on the eastern horizon.
    There, you eye the moon using your telescope and notice very bright and distinguishable pulses of light on it's surface. One after another, a hundred suns ignite the lunar skies.

    I just watched all your videos and THIS STORY IS AMAZING. It's all pretty much explained in the "LSR-926-5/92" video. Spoilers below. Stop reading if you want to watch for yourself.
    Ok here it is
    Seriously stop
    Fine
    The cold war with the Soviets has expanded onto the moon and further into the solar system. The non-Soviet alliance whose perspective we see has discovered an anomaly in a crater (Shackleton) and built a base around it (Horizon) on the surface of the moon. The anomaly seems to be a wormhole to somewhere else in the galaxy/universe. This opens up onto a planet with massive ice/water content, along with other valuable resources that are crucial for life in space.
    And here we see the Soviets attacking the facility on the moon, sparking all out war.

    • @someguy8375

Then i've read lost fleet series the expanse books and i thought "it's actually exciting but scary also". Then i've watched the expanse series and i immediately changed my mind.
