KSP is the Kerbal afterlife world. That's why the lost Kerbals resurrect at the same place. It's that exact place where they appear after death. Every death. That's why all Kerbals look same and have same "surname". It's not a surname, it's a name for these afterlife kind of species. And they look same because it's not their original, individual appearance. It's their "standard" afterlife "body" layout. Not changing, not aging. They don't eat or breathe because they are not living (btw did you ever see their chests expanding, except in fanfics)? That's why they can fly endlessly in a cramped capsule with no supplies, like mummies in sarcophags. And the "life support" mods make as much sense like bringing fruits and flowers for a mummy. And no baby Kerbals around. Because they don't belong to that afterlife, and don't get born there. Their world lacks cities, crops, or anything but lifeless areas around the lifeless buildings, strange monuments, and sickly, motionless trees. With no leaves on ground, isn't it strange? Did you see any gardener in this garden? Pyramids, tombs, ruins... No living settlements around. Only signs of existed life... A strange ocean covers the planet. With no waves, no storms. Absolutely calm, absolutely motionless. No winter, no summer, no seasons, no weather. Just one eternal season and no equator tilt or the sun yearly movement. No animals, no fishes. Only invisible crickets chirping like birds. But wait... What are those two bright spots in the sky? It's the Kerbin moons. One is a desert full of dust, with no water, no air. An Ash Moon. Another one is cold and covered with ice, while the planet is enough close to the Sun to be a rather warm place. It's an Ice Moon, or Minmus. It's cold like the Dante's Cocytus. It's the place which never melts, because even time is frozen there. Other planet are different, but same grotesque and impossible. It's like a deformed version of the Solar System. But shrinked, mutated. Only Mars is more or less recognizable. The only real planet which could be populated by humans. "Venus" and "Jool" have bright, unnatural colors, purple and green. Probably, they play some significant emotional role in this afterlife astral world. And look at the KSC, its monumental buildings. It's like giant building structures from lucid dreams. And their windows spread light in the night, while nobody is visible neither outside, on the evergreen grass, or inside, like blurry shadows in windows. The inexhaustible pool next to the "personnel" building. It isn't just water, you can't swim there. It's like a chalice of souls. Or a chalice of oblivion. You "hire" the Kerbals in the building next to this pool. Because they resurrect there, it's a mansion of souls, the Kerbarium. Then they invisibly get into other buildings to wait for their turn to fly, explode, and resurrect again.

Banned because it obviously does.

Actually the bears are relatively relevant*) in this thread. Just read about the David Attenborough 2017 ecological documentary about the polar bears and walruses. According to, the global warming significantly reduced the population of polar bears, while the walruses (in the movie) were jumping off a cliff for same warming reason. Though, it appears that the polar bears were hunted too much. Without the bears around, the walruses bred and occupied additional room, never required for them before. When the hunting was stopped, the bear population had grown 4..5 times. The excessive polar bears were hunting the walruses on the higher land previously being beared but not walrused. The walruses were trying to escape and diving from the cliff onto the beach. So, not every bad ecolgical thing in the world is caused by the global warming. *) Couldn't refrain from writing "relatively relevant".

For bears, it's a normal life.

Wut??? They eat each other like the humans never do. Even the lawyers and the scientists. The human is more intelligenter than a bear because a bear can just eat a human, while human can not only eat a bear, but also skin it, wear its fur, make Ancient Eastern medicines from bear, use it as a carpet, as a statue, and even make bear-looking toys and candies.

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonus_(person) A colony is a set of {willing / told / forced / hired} persons, performing a productive usage of some territory in the interests of the {metropoly / dominating region / homeland / suzerain} . Sometimes splitting from, sometimes founded as splitted from (say, Carthago), sometimes staying a colony or turning into a peripheral region of the metropoly. At this forum some English-speaking users insist that it needs a population reproduction to be a colony rather than a base or an outpost, but according to its original sense and the modern realities, the Ancient Romans and the Modern Russians agreed that this condition is not actually required. The colony labourers can happily get born in other places and brought to the colony. In Russian - an absolutely normal colloquial term for any separated (usually - on island) productive settlement existing in connection with Big Land. (Officially - a settlement, or so.) (Also used as common term for penitentiary camps because they are usually in some places separated from the habitated land, and perform some kind of production). -

As Dumbledore always explains, the wooden bridge in Hawgwartz looks so decrepit because He Who Shall Not Be Named has stolen all funds envisaged for its repairs, and the best academy wizards still can't change it back, so the funds keep getting self-stolen every year since then. -
