Kerbal prayers

[lajoswinkler]

Few days ago couple of us were busy at the unofficial KSP steam group. The conversation is usually going from funny to weird so we started making up Kerbal prayers. ZedNova made Kerbal rendition of "Hail Mary" (my favorite), and I did the "Our Father" and "Gloria Patri" ones. Title for "Our Father" was gpisic's idea.

Our Player

Our Player, Who art in LKO, hallowed be Thy fuel, Thy science come, Thy will done on Kerbin as it is in LKO.

Give us this day our daily boosters, and strenghten our struts as we strenghten our rockets,

and lead us not into crash,

but deliver us from Kraken.

Kamen.

Hail Jeb

Hail Jeb, full of snacks.

Our capsule is with thee.

Blessed art thou among pilots,

And blessed is the fuel of thy rocket, Kerbal X.

Holy rocket, lifter of things,

Transport our probes,

Now and at the hour of our launch.

Kamen.

Gloria Kermani

Glory be to von Kerman

and to Gene,

and to Mortimer:

As it was at the launch,

is now,

and ever shall be,

TWR above one.

Kamen.

Presumably that's what some Kerbals recruits scream (in their gibberish Kerbal language, of course) while their capsule is hurling through the atmosphere enveloped in plasma.

There's more to come, we just need to find the original ones.

Is this even allowed? I ask because I support this.

[Robotengineer]

Those are great! +Rep. What about a national anthem?

I see no reason against it. These are just Latin songs translated to English and then kerbalized. Big deal.

I'll discuss it with others because Kerbals do need one, but if it would be made from scratch, it's better to put it in a special thread. Kerbals deserve a special anthem.

I laughed so hard tears formed. Thank you.

[ZedNova]

Hi i'm ZedNova, and i approve of these prayers.

This does not break any forum rules, though please remember to stay away from actual religious content, as that tends not to go well.

Here's a Kerbal Pledge of Allegiance I wrote just now. I couldn't come up with a better name than Kerbalia.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of Kerbalia, and to the space agency for which it stands, one nation, under RUD, very flammable, with funds and science for all."

[Windspren]

I pledge allegiance, to the booster....

The Kerbalnauts Hymn

Almighty SQUAD, creator brave,

Whose arm hath coded autosave,

Who bidds’t the moons and planets all

Into their fixéd orbits fall;

Oh, hear us when we cry thy name,

For those in peril in the game.

Oh play’r! Whose actions shape the course,

Of program, ships, and Kerbals coarse,

Who plots the future with thy nodes,

And knows what ev’ry burn thus bodes;

Protect us when we seek thy aid,

From peril in the ships thou made.

[Levelord]

You are all heretics.

Our true lord and savior is the magical sky kraken. He works in mysterious ways.

[Vanamonde]

Come to think of it, this belongs in Fan Works. And so, moved.

[ChillinMcMillan]

Nice! I could imagine Kerbals praying right as I'm about to send them to their de- into space. (Mustn't let them know that this is a one way flight)

[HafCoJoe]

xD these are great.

"Burn up the dross"

O Player,

may the fire of the Holy Rocket

burn up the dross in our nozzles,

warm them with love,

and set them on fire

with zeal for your service.

Kamen.
