Bill Kerman is kerbonaut #0002[1] and the least intelligent of the “original three”.

Background

Personality

Bill has as much Courage as Jebediah but, unlike him, does not have the "badass" trait. He also has relatively high Stupidity, As shown when in training, he gets smacked by the flag and is K.O.ed as a result.[1] His facial expressions and behavior suggest he often finds flight situations worrisome but he will also appear happy is situations like orbiting Kerbin or on the surface of Minmus.

His Steam Trading Card says he "always knows when something's gone wrong" which could suggest pessimism, though in KSP things often do go wrong.

Reputation

Some fans interpret Bill as intensely reluctant to fly. Others depict him as an intrepid explorer[2] or as eager, sentimental, if unlucky[3]. Like all members of the original three, Bill's position near the top of the list of kerbonauts means players will be far more likely to have him on missions that any of the random kerbonauts, but still less than Jebediah.
