I think i found an easter egg

[Catto]

Hi everybody!

So i found this out. When you search "Communism" or "Communist" in the VAB or SPH parts search bar, it shows up with the Munar Excursion Module.

Is this a bug or easter egg?

Astonishingly, he's not making this up.  Digging into files to see what makes it work.

I can't send an image file

The word does not appear in game data or localization, so I think it's some weird coincidence.  It's awfully close to 'communitron' or 'community' which is featured all over the place.

[Catto]

Oh.

Well i thought that was an easter egg, cause of the space race.

[Corona688]

Yeah, if they were going to do that for anything they'd do it to the soyuz pods

theory.

"com" = command
"mun" = mun (in the tags)
"ism"/"ist" = ???

test: try searching for "comhistoricalism" and see if the Vostok pods show up. They have "historical" in their names

I did that and they showed up. Your theory worked!

Found this the other day in the VAB-

If you type the word 'communism" It come up with this-

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg. The Easter egg is actually this-

Anyways, I think this is a funny little secret! What do you guys think?

Most likely just a coincidence.

Other useful search-terms, like 'lemming' and 'chipmunk', also find this adaptation of the L.E.M for the Mun.

KSP's rules for using text to search for parts can be very strange.
