Does this really happen or is it fan-made?

It's a part of the release trailer

Will all these cool animations make it into the game one day or are these just promotional material?

[KasperVld]

These are promotional materials, but we're always looking to see if we can bring certain aspects of them into the game.

It was surely always intended, and might seem obvious now, but I think one of the smartest things Squad has ever done to make this game popular is add the actual kerbals to the game. Being able to control these little green men (and now women too) is so immersive and really counteracts the seriousness of the game as a realistic physics sim to make it really fun!

Having said that, I would certainly not mind seeing more stuff added for controlling the kerbals themselves, like this new clamber feature that really works well. :-)

Well, i WOULD like an RV in KSP.

[LostOblivion]

We do have RVs, that is, reentry vehicles. :-)

Has anyone noticed that several of the animation scenes might be references to KSP's Steam trading cards?

A few seconds after 1:56, for example looks familiar
