Historic Kerbals

[Tommygun]

This is Just something I did today when I got a little bored.

Jeb: Number one crash test dummy.

Goddard: liked to build rockets in his garage. They crashed a lot too.

Goddard again

Houbolt: Credited with championing the Munar Orbit Rendezvous or MOR mission profile.

[Francesco]

Awesome!

Can't wait to see the Mercury (Moho?) Seven!

[MGUARN]

Amazing editing i am shocked ,and creep out in the first 2 pictures.

Max Von Kerman: First Zeppelin test pilot.

Balloon Boy Felix.

[Yogui87]

Oh man, you made my day. Max Von Kerman is just amaizing of reality. I need more.

[Tommygun]

I have been thinking of Jean-François Pilâtre de Kerman.

There is something about combining a hot air balloon and hydrogen that's so Kerbal.

Max Von Kerman: First Zeppelin test pilot.

Oh god, the zeppelin on fire tells everything XD

Nice work on the pics

[Needles_10]

This would be great if it were real life. Continue, good sir!

[Einsty]

Great work! Do a Titanic or Vassa, that would be cool.

[JRF2k]

Pioneering aviator Jean-François Pilâtre de Kerman:

First Kerbal to try and combine a hydrogen balloon with a hot air balloon.........but not the last to try.

[Frogbull]

Nice work.

[Yogui87]

Just handsome... I like the heart-shape patch on the cheeck.

I want more^^.

[Tommygun]

Yeager: First Kerbal to intentionally break the sound barrier........actually he broke it twice.

Once in level flight and again going straight down in an unplanned maneuver when his outer wing tips came off during a rapid unscheduled disassembly.

[POTKC]

Nice combination of images from the 'Dirt Runway Island' and 'The Right Stuff', only in the film his helmet wasn't broken...

[UltraVires]

Actually in the movie he's holding his helmet, so we don't know if it's broken or not... In real life, Gen. Yeager lost control of his F-104 Starfighter, and ejected. When he did, he was in such a violent spin that when the seat separated from him and his parachute opened, the seat flew back around and hit him in the side of the head, with the part of the seat that still contained burning ejection rockets... Broke his helmet and burned the left side of his head and neck.

Chuck Yeager took a rocket to the face and kept on trucking... Now that's a Test Pilot!

Nice pic Tommy

[Tommygun]

Wan Hu Kerman: Earliest known taikonaut/astronaut candidate.

[Mekan1k]

Knowing KSP, someone would have gotten that chair to launch.

[Lazro]

Also the first recorded use of:

-A Command Throne

-Sepratron Spamming

[LaydeeDem]

These are hilarious! Keep it up!

[AHO]

These are incredible! You should make one of Isaac newton.

[Tommygun]

Thanks guys, I hope you find the history "informative"?
