Kerbal Space Centre... In Space Engineers?

I just found this in the Steam workshop for Space Engineers.

It looks just like the real thing. If any of you guys have Space Engineers, I recommend you try it out.

This must be the KSC in the far flung future where global warming due to the non stop rocket launches has raised the sea level causing world wide flooding.

Having and keeping tabs on development of Space Engineers, I have to disagree slightly. This must a far-flung future where there was major flooding before all the water on the planet froze.

That looks like pretty good replica. I'll make to check it out some time.

Huh, must be a tribute or something, me thinks we should return the favor with another easter egg on Kerbin

Likes for the person that makes the iconic Red Ship in from SE in KSP.

Interesting that the modder dropped the word 'Kerbin' from 'Space Centre' to use the word 'Kerbal'.  AFAIK that's now trade-marked, whereas 'Kerbin' is perfectly legal to use, so Is this making a special effort to get sued?  (Not that I think Squad would, but it seems an odd choice).

Looks like 'Kerbal' is indeed trademarked, but apparently only in Mexico. Similar government websites for the US and UK don't return any results :confused:. Not sure if it matters where it's registered though

No it shouldn't matter - every country that takes notice of trademarks and copyright (eg; not China, where they'll rip-off anything ^^) recognises registrations in any country.  Can you imagine the time and cost of having to get official sanction in every country otherwise!

Well, true, but in fairness it would probably be enough to do it in the US if that were the case.

Erm, Mexico makes sense to me - Squad's Mexican.

I know that; my point was, hypothetically, if you did require official sanction in multiple countries for a trademark, it would probably be enough to just get it registered in the US, since most of the developed world has a tonne of treaties with them for legal stuff.
