*According to Rob Adams, Bungie's Lead World Artist for ''Destiny'', the colony ship prominently displayed at the center of the [[Cosmodrome]] actually contains hundreds of mummified colonists who perished when the ship failed to launch. The reason the ship did not launch was that its fuel lines, located in [[The Blast]], ruptured and exploded during the chaos of the Collapse, preventing the ship from fueling properly.<ref name="CosRideAlong"/> | *According to Rob Adams, Bungie's Lead World Artist for ''Destiny'', the colony ship prominently displayed at the center of the [[Cosmodrome]] actually contains hundreds of mummified colonists who perished when the ship failed to launch.

* | *The colony ships to contain machines called SMILE (Suspended Mobility Interplanetary Length Expedition) Pods, which would have held individual colonists in suspended animation. Bungie originally intended that SMILE Pods with mummified occupants would have been scattered across The Blast in the Cosmodrome as debris from a destroyed colony ship.<ref name="CosRideAlong"/> | ||
*The colony ship's three spheres were originally envisioned as fuel tanks. The fuel they contained would provide enough thrust to launch the colony ship into space and boost it to traveling speed. Once empty, the tanks would be converted into habitable spaces for the ship's passengers for the duration of the journey.<ref name="CosRideAlong"/> | *The colony ship's three spheres were originally envisioned as fuel tanks.

*A few SMILE pods remain inside of The Devils' Spire. One of these pods is scannable; Ghost will tell the player that he had attempted to awaken the hero sleeping within the pod, but said individual claimed that he'd seen enough wars already. This might be a possible reference to Halo's Master Chief, whom is first introduced being awoken from a similar stasis pod. | *A few SMILE pods remain inside of The Devils' Spire.
