Not exactly... There were others, even "better" than KSP, like Orbiter[www.orbiter-forum.com] and, if you are really into this Space Simulator business, Microsoft Space Simulator[archive.org] - that, besides coming from Microsoft, it was actually pretty good.
Trivia: KSP was initially announced[www.orbiter-forum.com] on Orbiter's Forum!
IMHO what made KSP be choosen is not about how close it is from Real Life™ (because it's not that close - Microsoft Space Simulator is way more realistic than it). It's due how incredibly easy is to build your ideas, sometimes by expanding the game itself. MS SpaceSim is just not expandable at all, and in Orbiter you need to be a developer to create new crafts - but at least you could tie the existing ones together in stages using Velcro Rockets.

Could be inspired, yes. I theorize that the Artemis ii crew practiced in Kerbal Space Program before ultimately building their ship and setting off.
It makes the only logical sense, after all. KSP invented all this cool space stuff for actual use in the real world.

Uh... ARTEMIS to be exact. See NASA's official broadcast:

It is, or it's; not its.
spelled has 2 L's in it.
Artemis has already been pointed out.
3 words, 3 mistakes.
If you're going to be that guy, at least run a spellchecker next time.

So there is a NASA employee spending payed time at work using KSP (with the knowledge of the superiors)?
Or just a NASA employee playing around with KSP in the free time at home?
Can you point to a proper source?
If the time is really spend on KSP during payed work-time, I would like to know what mission critical details can be tested or prototyped with KSP properly.
What small ideas do NASA employees have that can be tested in KSP?
I can't think about a single one, what do you think?
Or is that a conspiracy narrative including NASA having secret modifications to KSP?
Do you also believe traffic planners use Cities Skyline to test their ideas during work-time?
That should be at the same level of simulated complexity and work properly as well...

Perhaps because you are not only do not work on NASA, but it's far from being a Rocket Scientist?
Why not put your money where your mouth is? Be *YOURSELF* the change you want to see in the World. Feel absolutely free to bring us evidences, no matter how small, that support your thesis as we are bringing ours to this discussion!

The lack of NASA employees claiming to use KSP as a work tool is evidence enough.
No need to get involved into your silly games.
If you are into endless discussions about silly topics go and discuss them with Tux.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. You may be able to influence kids and naive people with this prosopopéia malemolemente para dormitar bovinos[www.google.com], but I'm afraid that that's all.
You made a claim, and are trying to use the absence of evidences supporting your claim as evidence of it. It's just... Tragically sad that you do it without even remotely a bit of shame.
Other people are making claims diametrically opposed to yours, and some of us are bringing 3rd parties testimonials that, at least at this moment, supports ours. Obviously, these evidences doesn't means necessarily that we are right, but it necessarily means that WE CAN BE.

So don't get involved, good bye!

No. you and others made the claim, not me.
Without any evidence beside a paper claiming that KSP *could* be used in the future to do something.
It is not upon me to disproof your silly claims.
I have asked for a source from NASA that confirms the usage of KSP for their work.
Can you point to anything reliable?
If not, then your claim is just a fever dream.
Not every fever dream needs prove to be dismissed as such.

It's the steam forums. What did you think would happen?
What... you expected that everyone who read this would toss you an award and think it was funny?
As a comedian, you need to work on your material.

A lot of urban myth and conspiracy narratives started as a joke.

In search of the elusive origins of the story that each person swallows eight spiders in their sleep—and some thoughts on what to make of the fact that everything about this story is wrong.
At some point during the dynamic the author of the myth usually loses control of the narrative.
Meaning you can't remove the myth by pointing out its nature.
