How long can the kerbal respawn?

[Stephen Locksley]

How long can kerbals respawn? It will respawn in few hours. You can wait until it respawns. For 1 hour, you can wait it.

I am asking it how long can respawn. Please wait the kerbal respawns.

I'm guessing you're asking how long the respawn time is for a dead/MIA Kerbal? That I don't know. It might not be time related at all, but rather when you exit/restart the game?

Then again, you could be asking how many times can/will a Kerbal respawn? That, I think is infinite. Someone who knows better will come along with an answer, I'm sure.

I believe there is a setting to adjust the respawn time when respawning is not disabled.  The default is a few hours game time (can't remember exactly how many though)

Last time I looked the default is 2 hours.
