*The Sabre launch sequence in ''Halo: Reach'' appears to have been inspired by [[wikipedia:NASA|NASA's]] [[wikipedia:Space Shuttle program|Space Shuttle program]], in both components and angles used for the cinematic. Several angles of the Sabre's launch sequence use similar camera angles seen during Space Shuttle launch, and the on-board cameras are used to examine foam loss on the external tank. The design of the Sabre's own external tank is somewhat based on that on the Shuttle, especially its orange color. | *The Sabre launch sequence in ''Halo: Reach'' appears to have been inspired by [[wikipedia:NASA|NASA's]] [[wikipedia:Space Shuttle program|Space Shuttle program]], in both components and angles used for the cinematic.
