1.). We can see a gassy cloud roughly aligned with the equatorial plane of the Kerbol system. Initially I thought this was the light of countless stars like our own Milky Way. However, its uniform distribution around the equatorial plane makes me think we are actually seeing the remnants of the accretion disc which gave birth to our fake star system. 2.) Celestial bodies are dense. They are one tenth the size of RSS bodies with similar gravities. This means that Kerbol is likely you Gr and faster burning than our sun. It is possible that this means the outer portion of the accretion disc is not finished coalescing. 3.) it seems there are many unknown objects large enough and radar reflective enough to be tracked by the tracking station in KSP. Kerbin may have only recently ended its heavy bombardment period. This would also explain the large impact craters whic have not eroded away. This also supports a young star system theory. 4.). A young, dense hot burning star would emit lots of radiation. This explains why it's feasible for Kerbals to be autotrophs, tolerate radiation in space for extended periods of time, etc. They evolved in a young, energy-rich star system. I cant explain why Kerbol, as a young, dense, fast burning star does not make the planets of Kerbol orders of magnitude hotter than they are. Also, galaxies are visible without any magnification. This would affect Kerbals in their view of themselves, their position within the universe etc. Not to mention that proximity to so many other galaxies means we have not had time for the Kerbal universe to expand to the vast scales we see IRL. So the Kerbal universe itself may be young.
