Hot take: "Kitten Space Agency" will kill KSA's chance of success. It should not be kittens. Anyone unfamiliar with its KSP roots (huge % of potential players) will write it off as either "weird cat-person game" or "weird furry game".

Personally, I like it, and since modding is going to be supported, changing it to something else like penguins, shouldn't be too hard, it shouldn't be a big problem
I think on the other end of the spectrum, you'll have people adverse to blowing up kittens in off-centered mass asparagus staged rockets--whereas blowing up Kerbals is a right of passage.
As a cat person, and not a furry, I'll probably still play it.
I agree with "it should not be kittens" part BUT for different reason.
Kittens is, like, THE most generic choice. Like zero personality unless your personality is three-in-a-row from darkest corner of playmarket or appstore
Its not bc of furries or cat people associations, but because cats are literally overabundant in media.
THE safest choice for broad audience.
Someone could see cats as main chars and expect the game to be shallow, and thats sad
