ok... so... WE in reality know a little bit about what things look like in the year 2552 (in the military anyway), because we've played Halo... but
how do the WE in ILB know what the heck anything is going to look like in the future? we'ver never SEEN anything from that era, we've only heard descriptions of self-driving-cars and chatters shaped like kittens.
edit: kittens, not cats, thanks dragonrider

Well... if anyone is near Norfolk, you could take a picture of a battleship, and then use a screenshot of the Pillar of Autumn or somesuch... those two should be equivalents, maybe?

It's right at the top of recipe6.html
I just refreshed and it was there.
And I was thinking... should we send SP some more friendly messages in these pictures? It couldn't hurt, I don't think.

Any reason why I'm not seeing this on recipe6.html, even after clearing my cache and refreshing? All I see are the axons...

That happens, it can take a bit for it to work. If you give it a few minutes, it will work, just keep checking.

Could it be that I'm not "authorized personnel"?

Good thinking, Kouzou. We might not be able to "recreate" anything from 2552 very accurately, but maybe a screenshot or render from the game would suffice.
The E3 2003 demo offers a pretty good view of the roads, vehicles, and illuminated billboards. The UNSC medical center has a few interesting things in it, as well.
