So this has been on my mind for awhile now and the more i play the more it becomes at least to me more credible. My theory is that Kerbal's do not come from Kerbin, if we take a look at the Space Agency we can clearly see that it is the only sign of civilization on the entire planet, now I have noticed other things such as we NEVER see any Kerbal outside (does this mean the air is toxic?) the few we do see (ship crew) always wear a space suit even on the surface with no option(yet) to remove it (another tip that the atmosphere is Toxic?) My theory states that not only do they not originate from Kerbin but that they and the premise of the game is to research enough on space travel in order to find a way home, now if we think for a moment that these are abandoned/lost colonists that would explain their stupidity and also their lack of understanding but also allow for the closeness they show to me and you.. everyday people. I think they're Colonists that have lost contact from their home planet and are now doing all they can to find a way back home and they need our help! There is much more evidence to support this as well such as we only know them as Kerbals that would be the correct way to label a person or being from the planet Kerbin, now what if they are cut off? an example we are Human, not Earthlings(we are but officially we're human) now if we sent colonists to Mars and then cut contact, surely in ooh a few generations they'd simply refer to themselves as Martian? not Human? This is what's been on my mind and I thought I'd post it here to get some more feedback on it and see if any other players have noticed anything that would support this?
