What is Mystery Goo™ made of?

[OrdinaryKerman]

I know that it's supposed to be a Mystery™, but what do you think? All ideas are welcome.
Also @cineboxandrew @CobaltWolf how did each of you decide on translucent purple for Goo?

purple is the most mysterious color

It made me think Goo is a photosynthetic purple bacteria culture

What was left of the crew after rocket crash.

Well, when a mummy goo and a daddy goo love each other very much-

...oh, you said what it’s made of? 

I thought the part description said it was found growing at the bottom of a bin outside R&D or something similar. It’s probably just a lump of toxic waste that got irradiated and turned sentient, nothing to worry about, we put it in those really sturdy canisters to protect the Goo from space, not protect space from the Goo...

[steuben]

It is made of a non-Newtonian, non-Euclidian,  non-Einsteinian semi-fluid.

I vaguely recall that if you got 100% goo science from every biome in every situation what the goo was made of was explained. But, I think it's been long since dummied out. Something about a coding error making it too hard to achieve.

@cineboxandrew's was purple.

Did you see the Snowpiercer movie? Well, the Mystery Goo is the protein bars, the result of so many bugs and the solution to them.

[kerbiloid]

Snot.

The bugs squad sorted out and squashed.

The part description says "This unit was something one of our engineers came upon while dumpster divin-- Erm, while researching alternative applications for existing technologies." I think it might be very rotten, very old snacks, or maybe evidence that the Kraken really exists................

 

Also, does anyone know how I add a signature to my posts?

Sugar spice and everything green.

It's made of Word of Goo applicants that failed the admission exam and then were hired by KSC!

I'm guessing it's also what Kerbals use to transport oxygen around their bodies.

[Jacke]

It's what Kerbals ended up with when they tried to make Soylent Green.

[Noah Foloni]

Probably kraken waste or some soda.

[Single stage to ocean]

Maybe it’s kerbal blood that they use for research on spacesuits

Goo is yellow and flaamable, proof is seeeing a goo container explode after overheating.

I get the flammable part, but yellow? Fuel can be any colour

[kerbiloid]

If Kerbals themselves know what is this, why do they call it "mystery"?

Then is there a chance that "goo" refers to "goo-gle", or vice versa?

No, just 'goo', which is synonymous with 'slime' or 'gel' depending on use case And I was talking about the ingame manufacturer, not any real company. Maybe FLOOYD was just trying to drive up sales, especially with less experienced space agencies.
