Their head is lead-shielded....that's also why is so bulky

They may not require air, but it simply makes it easier to breathe. Just a little bit.

Explains how they can go from Duna back to Kerbin without dying. In EVA.

Actually, Kerbals have perfect metabolism. They survive by breathing, and their body recycles the air they breathe with 100% efficiency. This is why it's so critical for Kerbals to gape and scream all the time. It increases the airflow in their bloodstream and makes them more alert.

They also have regenerative abilities to respawn after apparent deaths. Also, their lead head can survive a fall from any height if they land on it.

All this stuff makes me wish I was a Kerbal....

except the minimalist training that 100% of Kerbals pass, which causes the unintelligence
