As for the OP, they're is a great backstory of how harvester and his (i assume brother, or at least childhood friend) moach (or something like that) cam up with the name "Kerbal" starting with something to do with their native language (being from brazil) and the original name "Kerbo"

If anyone knows it better then that, or the forum comes back on, feel free to correct

Kerbals are called kerbals because calling them Minions from dispicable me would require a license to use the copyright.

"

These craft were constructed out of whatever could be found at the kitchen of our grandparents farm house, the engines were Estes model rockets in the first few tests. When those ran out (surplus from a shuttle kit which was promptly destroyed by our erstwhile ineptitude), more common bottle rockets from a local novelties shop became the main source for propulsion - it took a few kerbals before the notion to remove the explosive end at the tip of those things came to mind

The first two tests still used the same launch pad that came with that ill-fated shuttle kit - that was no longer a feature in later missions, as the damaged plastic parts from Kerbal I did not survive long enough to accommodate launches after Kerbal II


Note that back then, the terminology was different in that a pilot of our craft ('ably' fashioned out of crumpled tin foil) was called a "Kerbo", originating "Kerbal" as an adjective meaning "of Kerbo-related nature" - Subsequent history gradually phased out the ancient form and replaced "Kerbal" for the name of the species as well.

"Allumminnia", as seen noted on some of the logged entries, is probably an archaic word for perhaps the Mün, but some kerbal historians suggest it more likely would have been Minmus. This theory is contested by claims that such name has its roots in a reference to "alluminum paper", (the local name given to tin foil in Brazil), proposing a reference to such like a surface being found at said unconquered destination, thus favouring the Mün as a candidate. - That name has since fallen to disuse and more lately may be considered rude among kerbal historians and tin foil enthusiasts.

Log entries where the pilot line reads "n/a" should be better read as "not accountable", and thus may not imply these craft were unmanned - rather that nobody thought to actually write down the names of them brave 'nauts before they fatefully became unable to account for themselves, being dead and all...

HarvesteR will attest that this is indeed his own hand drawing (notice the similarity to the sketches found on the credits ingame). He will dispute me, no doubt, that it was really I who first came up with the whole idea for a tin-foil pilot and calling it a "Kerbo" in the first place. - Did I mention we share the same mother?



invariantly, albeit appearing needless to say, since we've all grown knowledgeable of the many perils of kerbal spacefare, it fits to state:

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!


cheers!"

Thanks! And I had the demo, then bought the game. Once I try deleting the Kerbal Space Program Demo, it says " Could not find this item" " This is no longer located in C:\Users\MyName\Desktop. Verify the items location and try again".
It isn't a HUGE issue, but its kind of annoying with a icon I don't need on my desktop. Thanks if you can help!
I think you should've deleted the demos content or uninstalled the demos before you installed the game but then again I don't know how to help as I had this game since first release where there was nearly no features and parts so I kind of just bought the game when I was in such awe that it survived early dev and made it on to steam! Sorry for spammy, sloppy, un-useful comment!
