The '''Astronaut Complex''' is a facility at the [[Kerbal Space Center]]. It is used for hiring [[Kerbal]]s for use in vehicles. The interface allows the user to see the Kerbals that have applied to be an Astronaut at the Kerbal Space Center, Kerbals available for missions, Kerbals in current missions, and lost (dead) Kerbals. Each Kerbal has two meters indicating its Courage and Stupidity (a third, unseen statistic, Bad Ass, cancels out the other two stats for a select few Kerbals, such as [[Jebediah Kerman]]). Currently (0.23) all these meters influence is the facial expression the Kerbals have when certain events happen.

The Astronaut Complex at Kerbal Space Center provides a listing of all current kerbonauts and the option to hire kerbals who wish to become kerbonauts.
(Note: this wiki uses “kerbonaut” in place of “astronaut” for reasons described in the Kerbonaut article.)

Interface

The Astronaut Complex's hiring system, since 0.21.

Two panels overlay a static[outdated] background depicting the Complex's interior.

The left panel lists kerbal Applicants who can be hired. There is no cost to hire an applicant or continue employing them[outdated]. Kerbalkind provides an inexhaustible supply of applicants, though exiting and reentering the Astronaut Complex may be necessary.

The right panel shows hired kerbonauts listed in three tabs. The first tab lists hired personnel Available for missions. The second lists crew Assigned to current missions; EVA status will also be shown. The last lists kerbonauts Lost during a mission; by default, lost crew are Missing In Action and will reappear after a time, but there is a setting to make lost crew remain dead.
Note also, it is not currently possible[outdated] to fire kerbonauts without terminating them.

Meters show each Kerbal's level of Courage and Stupidity; they also have a hidden flag that determines if they're a “badass”. However, these personality traits have no real effect on gameplay[outdated].
