Kerwood Floyd Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi. I've been noodling around with Orbiter off and on for years. My son bought me KSP for Christmas and I think I'm gonna have tons of fun.I've got a silly question to start off with: does anybody have any idea where the names Kerbal/Kerbin come from?Regards,Kerwood Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Welcome to the community Floyd Hmmm, a nod to 2001/2010 Kerbin and Kerbal are creations of the lead developer Felipe Falanghe, aka HarvesteR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerwood Floyd Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Thanks. So I guess I'll just have to be satisfied knowing it means something to Felipe.I'm glad the 2001 reference wasn't too obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If I remember correctly, "Kerbals" where his name for the little paper men he launched on toy rockets as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
