How Does Kerbal's Solar System Compare to Real Life?
389The Kerbal Space Program planets are mostly 1:1 analogues to real life planets, with some exceptions, but the moons are where they get creative.

I was inspired by Bogue's modded KSP videos to put the analogue description text on screen for each planet you should go watch his stuff its good / @boguekerbal
I had like a 20 minute long script prepared but it was just burning me out trying to edit it and keep it interesting, and since the KSP wiki is down half the time it was getting really annoying to try and double check information. In the end I decided to keep only the most interesting part, which is how the moons are so weird and how KSP merges multiple real world planets into one to make for unique worlds to explore. Apparently KSP 2 took this even further with Dres becoming a ringed Iapetus analogue and a lot of the moons getting facelifts to look more like their real world counterparts but unfortunately I don't own and will never own that game considering its unfortunately now abandonware.
If you read this far comment uh "Good video but why didn't you mention Eve's second moon Grimbo?"
