@@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.

@@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

@@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.

This would go so hard as hard-sf videogame setting (COADE spiritual successor perhaps?). The only 2 nitpicks I have: * Audible gunfire in non-onboard audio shots (especially soviet craft). * Nuke flashes not *brilliantly* illuminating NPP craft as they are accelerating Maybe also the NPP craft seeming awfully close for nuclear pulse propulsion, but that's probably extremely narrow angle telescopic shot so they may actually be quite a way apart (at least my headcanon says so). Not sure about B-8M1 looking launchers on soviet craft, conical launchers look a bit pointless in space, something like B-8W20 might be more space effective to carry into orbit if repurposing military aviation hardware.

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.

@@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).

@@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.

This would go so hard as hard-sf videogame setting (COADE spiritual successor perhaps?). The only 2 nitpicks I have: * Audible gunfire in non-onboard audio shots (especially soviet craft). * Nuke flashes not *brilliantly* illuminating NPP craft as they are accelerating Maybe also the NPP craft seeming awfully close for nuclear pulse propulsion, but that's probably extremely narrow angle telescopic shot so they may actually be quite a way apart (at least my headcanon says so). Not sure about B-8M1 looking launchers on soviet craft, conical launchers look a bit pointless in space, something like B-8W20 might be more space effective to carry into orbit if repurposing military aviation hardware.

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.

For some reason, this vaguely reminds me of, "A Colder War," by Charles Stross. When I watch this, I get a vague sense of unease as tensions over a not-fully-understood technology escalate wildly out of control with an uncertain -- but surely terrifying -- outcome.
You can feel the energy of the events occurring the Black and on Earth. The chaos on the ground as the struggle for domination erupts over the one place that will define Mankinds future. The terror of those serving in the void as their oh so fragile homes and craft become fair game in a nuclear war. The atmosphere is... intoxicating.
