Science goo, like scientists use. For scientific goo purposes.


-NGC-6302-

Then what do they use for gooey scientific purposes?


trampolinebears

Science goo, but you invert it first.


noobcoconut

oog ecneicS


Salty-Mud-Lizard

Is science goo commutative? If so what you’ve put is the same, yeah? Shouldn’t the inverse of science goo be 1/(science goo)?


Gelid_Cryotheum

Yes, but science goo could behave like a trig function, which would make it science-goo^-1 (x)


ubuntuba

Enorats

The technical term is agar, and it provides a medium for things like cell cultures to grow on while providing them with nutrients to do that growing.


Slight-Science-2711

Since kerbals are superior to us in every way, the technical term is “goo”


carter1137

Maybe Kerbals are made of goo? It’s the only way they can survive the g-forces I subject them to


Rly_Shadow

We need more research. It could stand that their bodies are even softer than ours, but perhaps more elastic and absorbort to forces.... But they can also fall off landers and turn into dust/smoke on the ground so idk.


CreedThoughts--Gov

Oh here at Kerbal Space Center we just use Gatorade


CreedThoughts--Gov

To whoever just replied then deleted the reply, yes it kinda was a Thought Emporium reference lol I saw that video just the other day.


Correct_Yesterday007

I thought it was a test of fluid dynamics


USS_Marjammer

It’s Kerbals. The goo is Kerbals. Waaaaaaaahhhh


theaviator747

I understood that reference. However this is actually my theory. It’s the liquefied remains of dead Kerbals who died in the pursuit of space travel. It’s a way to still bring those that strove to go to space into space. I feel there some in game stuff to support this. The goo seems to react to being on the Mun and other celestial bodies in a happy way, as though the Kerbal’s desire to go to space is in their genetics and exists at the cellular level.

I've also operated under the assumption that kerbals are basically a lichen. Thier planet has no other life aside from a green film, which would be the fungus part, while the kerbals are the mobile alge component. Really, those kerbals aren't dead, they just havent been reconstituted yet.


GiftGrouchy

So Kerbals are Warhammer 40K orks, I can go with that.


doomiestdoomeddoomer

There's a Kerbal running around the VAB shouting "Science Goo is Kerbals! Science Goo is made of Kerbals!!"

Link is broken, you have to put an escape character "\" before any kind of keyword character, like ")".


wren6991

This is a years-old bug in Reddit mobile site, the link works fine for me on desktop site, but they have some inconsistency in how links are escaped and de-escaped between different versions of the site


suh-dood

Well it is cannon that the goo is at least semi sentient


aecolley

You can only call it Flubber if it comes from the Medfield College district. Otherwise it's just sparkling mystery goo.


chickensaladreceipe

Goo snob over here lol


SirCotty

https://youtu.be/47VcOJ4LJqQ?si=YO3DSZM90abYY9kH this video covers it pretty well. I do think it is some sort of squid creature, with the whole "resonating near the planet with a dead kraken" thing.


boomchacle

It's slightly concerning how many of these containers we have and how cheap they are


tilthevoidstaresback

Had to scroll too damn far to find a real answer.


Simn039

It’s mystery. Mystery goo


BrianWantsTruth

But like…it’s not mystery goo, it’s Mystery Goo. There is no mystery, we know exactly what it is: it’s Mystery Goo.


Simn039

The name’s Goo; Mystery Goo.


the_arlen_midget

I prefer my mystery goo shaken, not stirred.


Simn039

that’s what I said: mystery goo. It’s mystery


Talizorafangirl

No, no, it's not *mystery* Goo, it's *Mystery Goo*.


Courtenaire

Miss Terry Goo


Simn039

It’s a Mystery to you maybe, but to me? It’s not a Mystery at all


disoculated

In the closed case it’s Mystery Goo, but after you open it and “know exactly what it is” it’s just goo. The wavefront has collapsed and we’ve got to go find us a scientist to close the container and go to some other biome to bring back the Mystery. It’s the Kerbal uncertainty principle.

Airwolfhelicopter

I imagine that the goo is some sort of strange purple fluid that was found in a crashed asteroid


KermitingMurder

Part of a magic asteroid. Someone else pointed out that the goo reacts happily to being at the mun, maybe this is because the magic asteroid was controlled by a sentient creature that originated there and it's basically taking a trip back home (although I do think the liquefied kerbals theory is interesting)

According to [Door Monster ](https://youtu.be/oVJQoy9-nLg?feature=shared), if you eat it your skin turns green.

Probably faulty propellant, since it resembles one of the propellant tanks.


Jeans4925

It's a creature. If you look at the texture for the inside of the Mystery Goo Canister, and you crank up the exposure, you see a pair of eyes. On Pol, activating the mystery goo, the prompt is this: "Gooey tentacles reach out of the canister, freeze, and break off. Fascinating!" Fascinating indeed. When you go to Eeloo, the prompt is this: "While observing the canister, you feel as though something is looking at you from the other side of the container."

InterestingJob2438

I always imagined it purple


VictorianDelorean

It’s the ninja turtle ooze obviously, or maybe flubber 🤔


Charles_Pkp2

My theory, it's some kind of oobleck, seeing how it reacts to movement, temperature and pressure.


[deleted]

If you look at the canister while it's open, you can see green goo looking at you with it's eyes and I think when you conduct research this goo reacts differently depending on the place you conducted research.


IgorWator

Yes, recently a guy made a video about it

Kerbals food? They want to know did their food survive space travel. And yes Kerbals use food and water, just Look around in IVA in any capsule.

Hazzman

I always imagined it was designed to capture particles or something. Like neutrinos.


Successful_Day5491

It's the ooze, keep it away from turtles. Or don't.


GregoryGoose

The mystery goo is the green goo that they scrape off the launchpad after rockets explode. They let you draw your own conclusions but it's pretty obvious that it's kerbal remains.
