* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: The developers avert this but the use of this trope in media has caused some confusion among players less familiar with actual astronomical scales. Even among those familiar with space fight don't always remember exactly how big space really is. For instance, some have suggested ignoring time acceleration (ie being able to increase the speed of the game) and instead allow the program to run essentially in the background to allow for realistic flight during extended missions. Even acknowledging that a single mission would very well be months long, they don't seem to realize that most of that time would be spent doing... nothing.

* SpaceFriction: Averted; the only time a ship will slow down is when passing through the atmosphere of the kerbal homeworld. Since the game universe is confined to the solar system, though, it is much more likely that a ship will (''eventually'') return to Kerbin and be slowed by the atmosphere.

** Partially justified in that most of those explosions happen either in-atmosphere or when you're still attached to the thing blowing up/making noise, giving the sound a medium on which to propagate to your ears.

** The distances are less than they would actually be, but that's due to the SpaceCompression. The scales for Kerbin/Mun/sun are roughly the same as for Earth/Moon/Sun accounting for it.
