Bob Kerman is kerbonaut #0003[1] and the least stupid of the “original three”. Like all members of the original three, Bob's position near the top of the list of kerbonauts means players will be far more likely to have him on missions than any of the random kerbonauts; however, being last in the list of the original three makes him less frequently used than Jeb or even Bill.

Background

Personality

Bob has the least Stupidity of the original three but also the least Courage and does not have the "badass" trait to make up for it. All things considered, he should be the most likely to display frightened facial expressions. Calling Bob "the smart one" might be overstating it, but Bob's personality traits cast him closer to the role of nerdy scientist than intrepid test pilot.

Reputation

Bob seems to be the least famous of the original three with fewer search hits than Bill Kerman, who has far less than Jebediah Kerman. It's unclear what, if any, consensus fans have of Bob Kerman's character, role, or attitude. One fan depicts Bob in a video titled "Bobbing Around in Space"[2].

His Steam Trading Card says, "Just realized he's not coming home".
