The founders of the Spartan program had to do a ton of soul searching to find the perfect genetic candidates for the Spartan program. After their initial successes why didn’t they freeze some of the Spartan’s love sauce so more beautiful Spartan babies could be pumped out?
Very good question! I’d also like to know the answer to this one. If the genes are so rare, why not mass produce them!?
Probably funding. I have no doubt they would’ve done that if they could, but Halsey was originally given funding for 300 Spartans, which got cut leaving her with funding for 150, and then cut again to 75, and even then only 33 Spartans survived the enhancement procedures. They were cutting her funding that much, i doubt they’d be keen to fund her again in 6 years time when the new kids were old enough for the project, and she probably knew that. She coulda done it anyway just in case, but still.
As far as i know, she even had to try and keep secret just how much she was spending on the Spartans, and ONI wasn’t particularly happy when they found out about those spending. A single suit of MJOLNIR armor (was either the Mk. IV or V at the time, not sure) would cost as much as a Destroyer spacecraft to construct.

i think that would have made our wars much easier IMO. They did have the technology to store genes and replicate them.
Kidnapping kids is much easier.
Are SPARTANS virgins…? Think about it, they were taken as kids and forced to be soldiers and nothing more from that day on… any ideas?

Probably so, the only pleasure they get is getting an order completed/missions and killing the enemy. Nothing more, sucks lol.

Chief seems like too much of a badass to be a -Yoink!-. Just saying.
Wow, that’s a good question…
Maybe now that they realize the SPARTANs ultimately saved, well, the Galaxy…multiple times. (Albeit only 1. Chief.) I’m pretty sure they’d consider it now.
And as far as I know, SPARTANs have repressed -Yoink!- drives. They are not sterile. So if they just got some of Chief’s…love sauce, and just made tons of Chiefs, I’d say the Galaxy would be save.
You just blew my mind.
They would probably kill each other in the process.
The original Spartan-Is did have some children.

Didn’t you know about John and Cortana getting it on in the Cryotube? (jk jk)
Also Spartans did have love making, relationships with each other.
This can be seen in the comic Bloodline, between Spartans Black-I and Black-III.
well, thats, um, I wanna know this now too
