HESTIA carries eight crew to Duna. KerbTab has ranked them. This is not a popularity contest. This is journalism.

#1: Valentina Kerman (Commander). First in space, first EVA, first on the Mun, first to leave for another planet. She is the ranking. The ranking is her. We are not taking questions on this one.

#2: Huddin Kerman (Engineer). First aboard LSI 1. Second EVA. Third EVA - the one where she stepped into a falling cargo bay during atmospheric descent (OFFERING, OTS-3, look it up, we still can't). She is on this ship because nothing works without her and also because she might go outside it again and we cannot look away.

#3: Melody Kerman (Mission Specialist / VESTA). Melody assembled L-HABSCI-1 remotely during FOUNDATION - twelve launches, eight failures, four modules, one Melody. She is now aboard HESTIA and assigned to VESTA. KerbTab does not fully understand what VESTA is. We understand that Melody is on it. That is enough.

#4: Gwenford Kerman (Medical Officer). She/her. The Space Doc. KerbTab is obsessed. She's the program's first dedicated medical officer on an interplanetary mission. We don't have a Crewgram for her yet but we know she has one. We're watching. Respectfully.

#5: Katdorf Kerman (Scientist). The telescope kerbal. Day 49. "I have seen something." We never found out what. She's on HESTIA now. We may never find out. This is the drama that keeps giving.

#6: Guillermo Kerman (Helmsman). The pilot. Quiet. Professional. KerbTab has nothing on him yet, which means he's either boring or the most interesting person on the ship. We're investigating.

#7: Dosos Kerman (Engineer). Flew on MERIDIAN - second Mun landing. Now on HESTIA. Dual-heritage kerbal: Mun and Duna. We made that term up. We're keeping it.

#8: Samsey Kerman. Flew on REPOSE - the scary landing at L-HABSCI-1. Now on HESTIA. If you've done the scariest landing in program history, what do you do next? You go to Duna. That's what you do.
