KSP Lore?

[Souper]

Has SQUAD ever planned on releasing an actual story for KSP? What are the monoliths, and what does the microscopic writing on them say? What are the Tall Pink Men, and what do they want with Kerbals? Did they create Kerbalkind? Is the whole KSP universe a simulation? Run by the Tall Pink Men? Who is this mysterious group known as "The SQUAD"?

 

...I'm sorry, my brain ran loose.

Eh, I kinda like that there isn't any set lore, gives us space to make our owen.

That said, there is this little piece written by an ex-dev (spoilers, I guess): http://pastebin.com/3vvjushy

All records of Kerbal history were lost in an event known as the great Kersplodey Pow Pow Collapsing Megabang.

This is why the calendar starts at year 1

exactly! I really like that there isn't a given reason for things like the monoliths, arches etc. Over the years there's been so much conversation and creative thinking about them, and that wouldn't have happened if there was a given story.  The KSP universe is yours to shape and create your own stories in, and I think that's one of KSP's great features; the Kerbal Story Program - build your own stories.

Here is the Lore:

"There once was a higher Being called "Harvester". He created the Heaven and Kerbin... in his mind.
For years, it was growing, developing until one day. - When he invented a tool, to have us share his Idea of this universe.

.... and they lived happily ever after."
