Yeah, but I read this one news article that said that as a ship starts to reach light speed, it becomes easier for radiation to pass through it, enough that 30% lightspeed(which we can barely reach today!) is enough to kill the whole crew in seconds. Even with shielding, the problem is that it would take so much that a single shuttle would have to be coated in enough coating to fill the moon! Unless they've got better materials in Halo, I'm a little worried for our future.
