For eight hours, Kerbin watched. Valentina Kerman suited up, stepped out, deployed a solar panel, found a broken airlock, and came home. NASA confirmed Basic Station decommissioned. KerbalX was directed to build a replacement. KerbTab confirms Valentina remains the program’s most recognised face — internal KerbTab poll: 94% want her on the Mun, 6% want her on a talk show, 100% want her to drop a skincare routine for vacuum exposure.

MSC-002 also marked the first 3-kerbal crew, first R-SLS2 flight, first live-streamed mission, first Mach 3+ reentry on the vehicle, and the first time a nation collectively screamed at a docking port like it owed them money.

Madvis Kerman and Dogun Kerman were also there. We see you. We’re just not ready to talk about it yet. Give us three more exclusives.
