AFTER THIS POINT, THIS IS JUST ONE WAY HISTORY CAN PLAY OUT,

THIS IS WHEN THE DESIGNER ARRIVES TO PLAY KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM

orbit around Jool.

78 ASF: Yrevoscid completes Joolian exploration, deorbits into

Jool uncrewed.

1 AWT: KSP and USC complete their own Kraken drives, and 10-

found, with the crew having survived and thrived underneath a

lush world. It is discovered that Grox only colonize dead

worlds, and lush worlds are toxic.

split up.

112 AWT: Aibmuloc returns from it's exploration of the Galaxy,

towing the dead hulk of the Esirpretne with it. It is revealed

that when Aibmuloc and Esirpretne discovered a civilisation

called "Creater" that was under attack by a mysterious cyborg

race, Edirpretne was badly damaged, and a replacement K-Drive

could not be fabricated.

118 AWT: New exploration ships a built as a collaboration

between Human and Kerbal engineers, Scientists, and

Astronauts. "Fleet One" as they are called, untilize a new

785,360c K-Drive to get places much quicker than before.

Solid Rocket Boosters, Liquid Fueled Rockets, and the concepts

of spaceflight are given to the Creater, so that they may one

day explore the stars much like Kerbals have.

creators of the Munoliths, the Black Saucers, and the Mun

Arches.

Confederation. Kerbin becomes completely dead. Only a few

small interstellar space stations survive with the last of the

Kerbals and the Humans. The Populations of Humans and Kerbals

are so small, that Kerbal-Human interbreeding starts. THese

Reptiliammals are much more like Humans than Kerbals.

1 PKE: Kerbals and Humans are both extinct, although both live

on the the Hubals. There is only one Kerbal left in the world,

the 314 year old Bob Kerman. Rumor has it that one human is

left in the galaxy, hiding inside Groxian space.

259 PKE: A small Creater warship destroys all of The Grox, and

finds the Hubal Interstellar Colonies. Hubals are transported

to the planet Drakania, the lush planet the Drake lived on

countless millenia ago. Hubals start building.

[Holo]

Before Spaceflight, After Spaceflight, After Warp Travel, Post-Kerbal Era?

[Whirligig Girl]

Precisely! Well, I was think Post-Kerbal-Extinction, but that works too.

[Thomas988]

I like this!
