Kurtvw Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 So this morning while walking the dog it occurred to me that:1) There are no female Kerbals in the game (although I have seen renderings of female Kerbals on the website, none have ever been in my space program).2) All Kerbals are of the family 'Kerman'Needless to say this raises a number of disturbing questions. Not the least of which: Are Kerbals all inbred and is that why so many of them look brain damaged?Maybe Kerbals are asexual and they reproduce by simply splitting in half?Where do they all live? It would be amusing to say that they are so eco-friendly that the planet bears almost no sign of their existance, but I've seen how their space program litters and pollutes, so I'm not going to buy that story!Anyhow, not looking for changes to the game, just observing some stuff for the lulz.

Galileo Kerbonaut Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I find it more troublesome they don't have ears or a nose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASAFanboy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I think that Kerbals have ears at the sides of their heads, but their ear is under a layer of skin. They can hear, but not as good as humans-but can still hear.Kerbals breathe out of their mouth. Their mouth can smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Aramchek_ Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 They reproduce solely by coding as they have no real biology. (it's a game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirrobert Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Just because they have the same last name, doesn't mean they are all family. In our universe, it means that. Not in the Kerbal universe.I'm pritty sure that the Kerman name is a tribe name, rather than a family name.The tribe has a strong tradition that only males do the heroic/dangerous stuf. My theory is that the Kerbal race has, for some reason, more males than females. This sparked the tradtion of keeping the females away from the more dangerous stuf (they used to all do it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KasperVld Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 It's rumoured that Kerbals are in fact plants which drink gravity and eat happiness. There is no doubt that they all live in Kermany though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's a game)Truly, Mr. Holmes, you are the most amazing detective of our time. After all, only a master of intuition and wisdom could identify a fact so perfective as KSP being a game.

ultimatevirus Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Actualy, I think that we infact are all kerbals but that our eyes just cant see the specific light frequencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarin Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The Kerbalizer logo features a female Kerbal. However, until I can load Kerbals from the Kerbalizer into the game, I'm not bothering with getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolbucley Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 As of v1.0, I’ve noticed apparently female kerbalnauts. This negates my previous theory that the females were the hidden masterminds who produced the parts “found lying by the side of the road†and spurred the males to take absurd risks as a form of population control and/or entertainment.I can’t rule out the possibility that Kerbals are all inbred, but if we removed every human whose surname isn’t Lee, the remainder wouldn’t be anything resembling inbred within the next few dozen generations. Maybe there was a mass genocide by the Kerman clan long ago. How depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggers Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 The fact that Kerbals seems to have poorly conquered the durface of Kerbin (very few structures) and even learn science stuffs by taking surface samples of Kerbin is troublesome.Add it that they seem to have access to a "very good" technologic stuff and all that rocket lying along the roads...It sure: the Kerbals doensn't came from Kerbin!

problemecium Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Guys. This is one thread that really shouldn't have been necroed.Female Kerbals were added in the 1.0 update. In fact there was this whole big buzz about it for months prior to the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fel Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Female Kerbals? I see no female Kerbals! Until we've seen kerbal anatomy all we can say is that there are feminine kerbals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
