Should I rescue him?

[Herr Doktor Strangemember]

Of course you rescue them, and glad to hear the rescue was done.

Especially when they fail too.

And you have to send another rescue mission to rescue first rescue mission.

OK how did you get the tapes of my 2nd rescue mission, all the evidence, uh, documentation of that chain of events was uh, well never mind...

Seriously sent 3 man crew to the Mun, tipped over on landing, sent another mission to the Mun to rescue the first crew, forgot to unload the second capsule so ended up with 3 seats and six kerbals, was so annoyed with myself, sleep deprived and caffeine deprived, that I did the same mistake AGAIN. If you only had to run one rescue mission you are doing good.

If you don't save him straight away then at least drop him a parcel with a few months worth of snacks. And a copy of the Martian to teach him how lucky he is.
