St4rdust Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 A fervent board-game player and a total space nerd, Margo is the newest recruit in the KSC. She became interested in computers and space at a very young age, being inspired by the feats of famous Kerbal legends, such as Valentina Kerman. She graduated in Computer Sciences and later obtained a Master’s Degree in Applied Geospatial Sciences from KIT (Kerbin Institute of Technology). Soon after she was offered to join the most renowned Space Agency of all Kerbin, where she quickly stood out as a brilliant software engineer. Being also highly interested in science communication, Margo helps out teaching and educating visitors of the KSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejected Spawn Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I find it quite charming to see such characters and their backstories, though be careful not to get our hopes up dear Squad - you probably know full well what a greedy bunch we can be and adding a "software engineer" might lead us to believe more intelligent or even semi autonomous probe cores are in the works!

KerballingSmasher Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 *makes timeout sign* HOL UP. Do y'all realize this is the first post we've ever received in a format like this in an official manner? This means either a, they're introducing a new team member to the devs, or b, they're teasing a new class of kerbonaut (along with a possible expansion of the OG 4 to however many)?!? That said, I'm probably just looking too far into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm probably just looking too far into this Well, Squad isn't Scott Cawthon, so maybe there isn't some huge meaning to this... BUT you're right, to have @St4rdust make a formal announcement has to mean it is important. Also, has anyone noticed her hair? It's not the stander ponytail. @SQUAD, in between her hair and Bob with glasses (it was confirmed that it was indeed Bob) AND with the new suit customize, is a kerbal kustomizer going to be unveiled in an upcoming update? I don't know, but hey that's just a theory..... A KERBAL THEORY (I'm sorry, I had to do it) Edited June 30, 2020 by Lewie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xurkitree Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Maybe she's going to be the external face of the KSC? Prime Kerbal Science Communicator to the general dumber kerbal masses? Or for the world irl? Very strange post indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are made unobtainium with invisible gaffer tape at the ends, the same invisible gaffer tape that kerbals build settlements from to avoid being spotted and devoured by the Kraken untill their space program was ready to challenge it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goufalite Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I just saw the preview of 1.10 on Scott Manley and Shadowzone's youtube channel, the new Rosetta and BepiColombo missions feature some "trivia" boxes during the mission. There were some other Kerbals (Linus for example) explaining scientific stuff. I suppose Margo will be in these boxes instead. This is a nice addition!
