The Flavor Text Thread

[The Error]

Because I'm hyped up and waiting for SCIENCE I thought I would generate some random flavor text for SCIENCE-y stuff. Then I thought, why not Zoi- uhm, the community?

Post your flavor text here! Be it for parts, SCIENCE stuff, planets, or whatever.

Specimen Case/Module/Thing:

A box that can be attached to your rocket and used to show various things (like plants) what space looks like close up.

Communicotron 16

Hacked together from 2 tin cans and the wreckage of a previous rocket crash, this device is (hopefully) capable of transmitting data from your spacecraft back to Kerbin. Warranty void if exposed to vacuum.

Science result during an EVA: "Space appears to be big."

[Monkeh]

Basically as many hitchhikers guide to the galaxy references and quotes as is humanly possible. Even Kerbally possible.

[SofusRud]

Science result during EVA around Moho or low Kerbol orbit: "Packing some shades would have been a good idea"

[jeti140973]

Science result during EVA around Eeloo: "Far out!"

[Activity]

Once you get into interstellar space, the Science result should be 42.

Temperature report whilst landed on Moho: "Looks like things are about to *puts on shades* heat up.

when using science in sandbox

"I'm sorry PLAYER NAME, I'm afraid I can't do that."

[SteevyT]

Temperature report whilst landed on Moho: "Looks like things are about to *puts on shades* heat up.

While on EVA on Eve: All you can see is Purple Haze.

Upon sample collection from Minmus: Tastes like pistachio.

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

EVA on gilly: the gravity is very looooooOOOWWWW!

(The kerbal then reaches escape velocity)

[Rainbowtrout]

Upon sample collection from Minmus: Tastes like pistachio.

WARNING, TERRIBLE PUN INCOMING!

This isn't Minmus, this is MINT-mus!

Told ya.

Crew report upon Eve atmospheric entry: Feels like hitting a brick wall.

Crew report upon Kerbin atmospheric entry: Feels less like hitting a brick wall. (Anyone remember the old atmosphere with the wall at 34,500m?)

Crew report upon Duna atmospheric entry feels like hitting a brick wall with pillows attached by jebadiahs amazing super glue

[WillHop]

Surface sample at North Pole of Kerbin: "The surface appears to be.. no Jeb, don't eat it!"

[SofusRud]

Suface sample at brown part of Eeloo: Yup, thats dirt

[SteevyT]

EVA report near Mun arch: It appears to be some sort of giant tow hook.

EVA report deep in Jool atmosphere: Pressure! Pushing down on me. Pressing down on you, no Kerb ask for.

EVA in ocean: Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

Crew Report at 206,000,000,000 (or a very far distance)I wish I'd remembered my thermal vest.

When close to the sun Where's the sun cream?

I'm a bit confused by this thread...

is it:

1. Recording flavor text seen in game.

2. Making up flavor test we'd like to see in game.

3. Making up silly flavor text with no pretense of it ever being in the game.

I'd like to be involved in either 1 or 2 and those should not mix... I don't really care to see 3 but if that's what this thread is then have fun.

[WillHop]

Essentially 2 or 3

I believe this thread is sort of a mix of 2 and 3.

EVA report from Dres: It seems to be a rather large rock.

Crew report upon landing on Ike: This thing is just screwing with us. It was not in the way before.

[lajoswinkler]

People, try to be more subtle. True humor lies in the subtle details and refraining from blatant exposure "HAHA, SEE, THAT'S FUNNY".

Crew report on launch pad

This is ground control to major Jeb

Darn. I think it would be awesome if squad tapped in the communities creativity and had a thread for submitting science flavor text ideas.

My hope is they still will
