What do you think the Mystery goo really is ?

YOUR MOM!

Also known as my entire high school.

It's polymer slime made from Borax and Elmer's school glue! Recipe here: http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryactivities/ss/slimerecipe.htm

Its obviously Kethane in a compound with Uranium HexaFluoride

[pxi]

The answer is probably quite mundane.

[aceassasin]

It's the remains of all the Kerbals you kill.

[Dooz]

Kracken snot.

Kraken poo

[OptimumAmoeba]

Mystery Goo Is the residue from all of our cursor movements over Kerbals and their rockets, you want to select something it hi-lights green so it must be a result of us interacting with the Kerbal universe.

Czokletmuss has recently answered this one in his "Grand Tour" thread:

BERTY v.2.0.8b: Potential biohazard can be reduced completely by putting the remains of doctor Harsen to the coffin immediately after executing orbit insertion burn. To futher minimalize the risk of infection, the coffin can be attached to the hull. Exposure to radiation during such extravehicular activity will be well within safety limit. Furthermore, by installing additional batteries the coffin could provide a valuable data.

JEB: You can't be – data? What data?

BERTY v.2.0.8b: Biochemical activity in microgravity is always worth investigating. Strong magnetosphere of Jool can also significantly-

JEB: You want to experiment on him?!

BERTY v.2.0.8b: Yes. It would be a terrible waste to ignore such occasion. Organic material-

JEB: Organic material? It's Harsen, not some koddamned Petri dish!

BERTY v.2.0.8b: Jeb, you're acting under the influence of your emotions. The potential benefits of such research can be enormous. The results of experiments conducted here may save lives in the future. It would be unethical to ignore this.

JEB: You are talking about ethics while considering doing this? You are insane.

BERTY v.2.0.8b: Jeb. As I have stated on a numerous occasions, as artificial intelligence I cannot be described with terms used to describe living beings. Sane or insane are useless categories, thus using them leads to wrong conclusions. Besides, this is an obligatory procedure for all deceased crew members.

JEB: No. No way.

BERTY v.2.0.8b: You can access the files concerning this issue, Jeb. Codename “Mystery Gooâ€Â.

JEB: …

BERTY v.2.0.8b: Orbit insertion burn in T minus 10 minutes.

JEB: So he was right. We really are expendable...

Its Kerbal after exposure to excessive G forces.

[Javster]

Kethane. Or melted Kerbals. Or a Kerbal's brain.

[GoSlash27]

Yes, it's a necro, but I grew really fascinated by this subject this weekend.

What is "mystery goo"??

It will escape if opened in water. It will gravitate towards water if exposed near it. It hates the desert. It's very comfortable in space.

Is it alive?

Sounds 100% like an incarnation of great Cthulhu... In all aspects... Creepy.

Mystery Goo = The Blob..

[Whirligig Girl]

It's some kind of living 4-dimensional entity, locked down onto 3D space. The goo can is just it's belt. That's why it can't be removed from the can, the Goo keeps putting it's belt back on.

[Yukon0009]

Mystery Goo is sentinent Kraken waste product. Or mine, for that matter.

[Treldon]

Close, but not quite. The Mystery Goo is..

...a baby Kraken!

[OrtwinS]

There are two ways to create mystery goo.

The centuries old traditional way, which involves a deceased Kerbal, a ritual fermenting coffin and some holy spores.

And the speedier modern industrialized process, which uses a Kerbal who didn't read the fine print of his contract, a large blender and some artificial flavour additives.

Of course educated Kerbals can tell the difference between the 'real deal' and the cheap substitute product by smell.

Jebediah's Mystery Soup!

I didn't realize this thread was that old, but I really enjoyed the read, especially the cleverbot bit...

Moldy pudding that's been sitting in the back of the fridge since before HarvesteR thought about KSP...

[LethalDose]

I was watching an old preview vid for KSP and the part that became the goo container was previously an animal carrier.

You would carry small critters into space and expose them to/observe them in space. Good change, SQUAD, good change.

Also, yes, serious necro. Should be locked.

I laughed way too hard at this... am I a bad person?

[Wanderfound]

Jellied Mysterons.

That's actually why they invaded Earth; they were fleeing from ravenous Kerbals, who view Mysterons as a source of tasty Snacks.

[Syd]

The goo seems to have a conscience because it can feel good, feel like home, and it also can change its shape and become a sphere.

It's obviously Flubber

Silly Putty!

[CG_Kerbin]

Liquid urumian/plutonium like what they have at nuclar power plant
