Re: Check this out

In Response To: Re: Check this out (Ape Man)

: As much as I like Geoff's work and admire its thoroughness and polish,
: there's one big problem: for New Mombasa to be visible from Geoff's
: Artifact, it would have to stretch several hundred miles across Kenya and
: into Tanzania. We've seen New Mombasa from orbit (In the cutscene at the
: end of Cairo Station) and while it's big, it's not THAT big.

: Also look closely at his Artifact location; there's a low mountain range in
: between his Artifact and New Mombasa that is absent from the trailer and
: would surely obscure any view of the city.

: One final note: a collapsing space elevator would spread out to the east of
: its lowermost anchorpoint (due to the rotation of the earth). Geoff's
: Artifact is grid west of Mombasa...that is, west in relation to the lines
: on a projected map. TRUE west--that is, west in relation to the rotation
: of the earth, which is what's important here--takes a more northwesterly
: direction.

: And that's right where Voi is...westnorthwest of Mombasa.

If you notice the song says road to Voi and we see Master Chief in the trailer on the road heading to some place, Voi possibly
