Wernher von Kerman(ヴェルナー・フォン・カルマン)はKerbal Space Center所属の高名なロケット科学者で、チュートリアル"Construction Basics"の講師も勤めている。CareerモードScienceモードではWernherは研究開発施設の"Science Archives"画面で会うことが出来る。公式に名前が登場するは「オリジナル・スリー」と呼ばれる宇宙飛行士(JebBillBob)の他には、WernherとGeneのみである。

端々で自己の名声に言及するあたりから察するにWernherの性格は軽く自己陶酔的なようで、the player reminding him of "a younger, less experienced, considerably less famous version" of von Kerman himself. He is known to roll his eyes at your "interesting" design choices.

SteamトレーディングカードのWernherは"Well, in theory it should have worked.(まぁ、理論的には機能しているはずだ。)"という台詞が記載されている。

Real-world parallels

His name most likely alludes to Wernher von Braun, the "Father of Rocket Science" who was a Nazi scientist picked up by American Intelligence in Operation Paperclip after WW2, and led much of the USA's efforts during its space race with the USSR.

Wernher von Kerman appears to be the lead scientist at KSP, like von Braun at NASA; but the similarities seem to end there. The real Wernher von Braun was not known for bragging, in contrast with von Kerman. Also, von Kerman sports a moustache and glasses while von Braun was clean-shaven and didn't wear glasses.

Fiction

The fanwork Kerbal Comics call him Wernher von Grün, as grün is German for green (like Kerbals' skin color).
