Kerbal Calendar

[Whirligig Girl]

60 seconds in a minute.

60 minutes in an hour.

6 Hours in a day.

426 days in a year.

Now we need to fit in weeks and months, and in doing so perhaps establish a little bit of Kerbal Mythology.

Every 6.4 Kerbin Days, Mun revolves around Kerbin once. This would mean a Kerbal Week and a Kerbal Month must be the same unit.

Let's refer to "Weeks" as "Munths" and what we think of "Months" as "Minmonths", because Minmus goes around Kerbin once every 50 days, a better representation of a month.

A Munth as 6 days, because of rounding, and like real Months, the Moon does not revolve once every Month, so a Munth doesn't have to be perfect either.

Kerbday

Moonday

Evesday

Dunesday

Joolsday

Eelsday (If we get a GP2, change this to [GP2]sday, for instance, "Sentarday" or "Sarnday")

There are 8 Munths in a Minmonth, again not perfect, but neither is the Month. Like weeks, individual Munths get no special name.

8 times 6 = 48, so there are 48 days in a month. There are 8.875 Months in a Year. This means we have to change what a month is, just like we do in real life. Sometimes a month is 30 days, sometimes 31, and of course February is 28 days.

We can get almost close enough for one month to have only 42 days and keep the other months constant at 48 days. It would also get the fortune of having the leapyear. So that's 9 Minmonths.

Updatuary

-First Minmonth of the year.

Jeburary

-Short month.

-Vall's day, a holiday about relationships and celebrating them.

Wobble

Play

Tune

Moho

-The hottest Minmunth of them all, based upon seasons caused by planetary perturbations, not axial tilt.

Rulus

Octokerb

-Day of the Deceased. A holiday celebrating those who have poof'd by worshiping the Kraken.

-Scaroeve, a day where Kerbals dress up in scary costumes for spooky scary reasons.

-Feastsday, a day where Kerbals celebrate what they have with a huge, gluttonous feast. Food may or may not be gravity, so KSC does many launches on this day for the Delta-V boost.

Novemkerb

-Hypemas, a Minmonth long holiday where Kerbals get hyped about things to be less sad about the season of coldness that occurs based upon planetary perturbation, planetwide, not due to axial tilt. It culminates with Hypemas Eve and Hypemas Day, where a mysterious space elf drops presents on Kerbal houses.

-Nukemunth, a Munth long holiday celebrating the efficiency of the Atomic Rocket Motor, and how it, on low thrust, burned for 8 days longer than it should have.

-New Year's Eve, a celebration of another year past.

Of course, no Kerbal alive remembers WHERE the holidays came from, just that they are tradition, and that tradition is awesome.

The Year Zero is disputed. Some of the Space Enthusiasts insist that Year Zero is the year the Kerbal Space Program started, others say it was nearly 1,951 years earlier with the birth of the first Kerbal (His name was Kraken) who thought that maybe shooting giant potatoes at people was not nearly as good a way of resolving differences as talking it out* is. Some Compromisers have splitted time into three periods.

Before Kraken, the date that Kraken was apparently born.

After Delight, anything between Kraken and Celestial Era.

Before Celestial Exploration, the date The Space Program was founded.

Celestial Era, anything after that.
