You could use the mod http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/18-1-kerbal-crew-manifest/ and edit there courage. But a non modded way is to hire someone with a lot of courage.

I find they are happiest when their orbit is perfectly circular. Something to try perhaps.

[TYRT]

So you are saying i can make them happy, like Jeb. Thanks.

[cesarcurado]

Send a ship to dock with it full of snacks, that's the only way I can think of.

I had the same problem, even though my space-station was safely and calmly in orbit they still looked scared hehe.

I cant load this mod :[ Whatever. I hope it'll fix in 0.22!

I had the same problem. I suspect they are scared because they are so far from Kerbin. I never did find a solution however.

I'll try approach to the kerbin. And I'll write the result here.

[TYRT]

Not working approach to the kerbin:)

I had something interesting happen - the kerbals were terrified under normal conditions, but when I went on-rails, they suddenly cheered up:

Unhappy

Happy

(I have no idea why the time-warp indicator isn't displaying properly in the image though)

Mebe it is the station itself. It doesn't look like this does it...

[Levelord]

Try bringing up snacks. Snacks always make my Kerbals happy

A very good point....

Or are your Kerbals hearing scuttling noises in the ventilation ducts, like there is.....something.....moving around in there ?

[oggylt]

it would be great if some dev could post a short explanation and formula of their happiness :>

I'd like that too, but in the same time I'm afraid it would break the magic.

For now, we have to resort to all sorts of bizarre/funny/smart explanations to explain their moods...

And test our hypothesises in the name of fun science.

I find out that a good EVA makes them happy for a while, apparently radiation fries the scare out of them XD

[HeadHunter67]

Maybe it's the altitude? I have a station in an almost perfect 100km orbit and one of my crew is practically overjoyed. He's sitting in the cupola with a big old grin on his face (not Jeb, just a regular hire with high courage). None of the 5 aboard look scared at all.

[Guest]

Every once in a while, park a decent size spacecraft within plain sight of the station and blow it up. They love that sort of thing.

[oggylt]

i think it would be vertical velocity, if the orbit is eclipse -shaped (e*centrick or what is that word) then they think they are falling thus scared?

[moronplays]

Good idea, i'll have to think of this next time I build a station.

BTW worst film I've seen in a while =/

Well they ARE falling!

Also, you can edit the courage values in the persistence file directly, if you want. It's really not hard. It's labeled as 'brave'. It'll probably be a really long decimal on randomly generated kerbals but don't let that intimidate you, the big three all have values that only go out to a single decimal place. It acts like it's a percentage, so don't go higher than 1.0 or lower than 0.0.

[Pachi3080]

If you want happy kerbals, you have to hire the most stupid ones.

One kerbal with a lot of courage and low stupidity, will be boring all the way...

Dead Kerbal Space. Where Issac Kerman goes to investigate.
