'Per Audacia ad astra' Bungie aerospace slogan.

Now Im sure this is old but didnt find anything relevant in the searchbar so here I go. On the Bungie aerospace web-page it says Per Audacia ad astra.' Roughly translated this means 'very boldness to star.' Now obviously this is not what it should mean to one speaking latin but once you translate 'very boldness to star' back into latin it says 'valde temeritas ut astrum' which means 'intensely rashness when star'. This does not properly translate to Latin however,properly,so this leaves us with the two terms. 'Very boldness to star' and 'intensely rashness when star' So then what is the actual meaning of 'Per Audacia ad astra' The only word we can be certain of is star. Now this essentially means something along the lines of...'Only the bold may venture to the stars' or 'One must be rather rash when amongst the stars' So what do you think of that...

  • I believe the word “audacia” could be translated to “boldness”. The whole plot of Destiny is about bravery or fearlessness. It’s our destiny to defend our star system with bravery and boldness blah blah blah. I do believe the intended context here is “Boldly we go to the stars”.
