Replying to old post-
It actually seems like there may be a thin atmo on the Moon in the future, I can't figure out how the Fallen and Hive breath there otherwise; so the shooting stars could be justified. Other planets were terraformed, after all, maybe the Moon as well to a slight degree? Otherwise it's a case of "Batman Can Breathe In Space". (Also, we hear sound on the Moon- sound=air.)
The gravity issues can be explained as future terraforming as well, the Traveller's science is magic. Gravity enhancement is not out of the question if you can turn Mercury into a garden world.

The fallen have masks that over their mouth. And helmets

Still doesn't explain the sound travelling, though...

They have speak with their masks on.

Not the point. Sound requires a medium (air or liquid) to travel through. Sound is produced by air molecules vibrating and bouncing off one another. In the vacuum of the moon's surface, we shouldn't be able to hear the enemy screaming at us, or gunshots, or anything but Ghost talking to us by radio. Unless there is now an atmosphere on the Moon (in the future).

A small and weak one yes

So, scientific objections nullified! The Traveller's magic-science gave us atmosphere on the Moon, along with Earth-level gravity, at the same time we were terraforming Mars, Venus, and Mercury. I'm good with that, I was just making the point, which you agreed with. Nothing is more emblematic of this forum than a 2-day debate between members who actually agree with each other.

Cool beans. But it's still not breath able for guardian's
