Cemetery of Kerbals.

[Whirligig Girl]

A moment to rest for your fallen Kerbals.

Now, please name some of the Kerbals that you have brutally murdered or had an inadvertent death. Please post why they were awesome, how they died, what mission, all the details. Please no Jebs, Bills, or Bobs unless they were really meaningful to you. (I.E., First kerbal in space, first kerbal on the Mun, first on anything, did something awesome).

I miss Billy-Bobfred Kerman

He was trying to fly a 5-part airplane and he died because the center of lift was off of the center of mass. He was my first Kerbal to perform a Trans-Munar-Injection, but he did not have the fuel to land, so he returned. He is one of my special Kerbals.

Orwig "Icarus" Kerman pushed down a little too hard on his jetpack accelerator while on the Mun, flew too high and too fast and came down again with a splat, making a little crater of his own which is now named in his honour.

Jebediah Kerman, ran out of fuel in the middle of a landing.

Bill kerman, (he is still missing) missing after going into EVA while orbiting the mun. Some people say that he is still there waiting for rescue, but we don't have the money to send a rescue mission.

[Xionis]

First kerbal to break orbit.

Bill Kerman.

Broke orbit so hard he left the solar system. (Technically not dead yet but seriously how much food could their be in that 1 man pod....)

[Curs0r]

Milkin Kerman. Fondly remembered as the first of our heroes to be crushed by the force of his own ship's acceleration.

Bilory Kerman and Alzer Kerman; testers of the on-kerbin crew retriever ship Sysiphos III and IV. Bilory splashed into the ocean, as the engines failed to a lack of fuel crossfeed cables, but survived. Alzer Kerman rescued him with the water-retriever ship Sysiphos IV, everything went fine, but when they tried to get back to land, the ship hit the velocity breakdown at 40m/s in the water, which not only did destroy the engines, but pulverzied both crew compardments.

Kirk Kerman, pilot of the Hermes II, an explorer ship, died of what seemed to be suicide. As the fuel ran low, he first aimed for a stanrd landing, but as his fuel ran out, he realized he would crash into the ground at 150m/s. Then, the unthinkable happened. he realized that his parachutes where deployed at the starting point for some reason... So he opened the crew hatch, got out and embraced death at hitting the ground with Hermes II and the resulting explosion.

Now that I play with the crew manifest mod, my Kerbals mean significantly more to me. I like to start out with a team of ten Kerbals that I all name after famous astronauts and play in DID mode, just to see how far I can come. Neil and Buzz Kerbal both made it to the Mun and back (after a rescue operation) and were later involved in the testing of a new escape tower. After some unmanned test flights, Buzz voluntarily applied for the manned test flight. I had balanced the whole tower, but forgot to add up the weight for a Kerbal passenger (didn't know they weigh anything, but they do!) When the pod came down, the chutes were torn off and the whole contraption crashed into the ground with a velocity of over 150 m/s. There was not even a need for burying him anymore.

Your thread title gave me the idea that it would actually be very cool to have a cemetry or a memorial ground (maybe somewhere near the KSC monolith) with headstones that have the deceased Kerbal's name on it.

Dunner Kerbal

His flight after dinner

Was no winner

And now late at night,

You can see ol' Dunner

Wishing he could have his Dinner

O.I.P Dunner Kerbal

(orbit in peace)

Lembas Kerman.

He was the first kerbal to successfully land on Tylo.

He would have been the first to set foot on it, but when he did the game glitched and he was blasted out of the solar system at 9x the speed of light.

What a way to go out.

Rodlin Kerman.

Got hit in the head by a 100 ton rocket.

The last thing he saw:

What happened? I made him lie down on the ramp to watch a rocket launch, but as soon as I switched focus, the liquid engines shut down and the solids kept burning. The rocket ran out of fuel and crashed. On his head. Sentence fragments.

The cool thing about a Kerbal cemetery, is rather than having R.I.P. on their graves, they just have R.I:

Respsawn In!

When a Kerbal dies, everyone misses him, but we know he will rise again.

I believe in Jesus as my lord and savior, and it's a bit like that for me in real life. Friends and relatives die, but I know I will see them again in the new creation.

Except for Kerbals, it's more of a cross between Doctor Who style regeneration, and coming back as a zombie.

So rest in piece, brave Kerbalnauts. For you will rise again!

Lozon Kerman, lost after the first successful SSTO spaceplane re-entered and overshot the KSC by a few (50 or so) Kilometers, with only very minimal fuel remaining... Hit the ocean at 120m/s
