Timeline

This is a rough Estimation of important dates in the Kerbal Space Program Universe. Many of these dates & events are only rough estimates at what would be true, many based on real-world times & events, but it could be useful for campaigns & other things of the sort. Please note: you may think some of these kerbals live too long, but please note that the writer of this article believes that the kerbals are a humanoid form of plant, and their greenness indicates the presence of chlorophyll, so kerbals can live indefinitely. Also note that kerbals, rather than average plants, consume nothing but mountain Dew & sandwiches, eliminating the need for roots.

1970 - pre-1980

1978: A new high-power telescope is developed by Kerbal Astronomical Society and a week after being powered, up, Minmus is seen for the first time, although Wernher von Kerman figured it was a melted drop of mint ice kream, as his intern Linus Kerman had a love for mint ice kream. A few months later, when Minmus was confirmed a moon of Kerbin, a conspiracy theory was developed that it was actually a large ball of mint ice kream. This theory still exists to this day.
