Female Kerbals Make the Best Astronauts

[Jovus]

They certainly make the most enthusiastic astronauts.

Every single astronaut I've rescued has been female. This is not by design; I've taken every single available rescue contract. (Gotta fill out the ranks without paying the exhorbitant hiring fees, naturally.) There has been 28 rescue contracts so far. That, combined with the fact that Valentina seems intent on nearly killing herself every time I put her behind the controls, even in ships that Jeb flies just fine, makes me a little leery.

[Commissioner Tadpole]

I'm currently swamped with female applicants. I'm planning to hire a new crew for a Laythe expedition, but I want to keep genders mostly balanced(60% men 40% women). But since there's only one gal in my ongoing Duna expedition, I might get more girls this time...
