Character Question

I feel a stupid for asking this but i've seen some people have the "original 3 kerbonauts" or one or two of them in a command pod but I have yet to get one. Why is this?

Just kill the current crew in a fiery crash until you get the Three Brothers (Bill, Bob, and Jeb). Or, EVA them and get them into the same craft, then end the flight.

I too have yet to see the original 3 in their rather dashing orange space suits. I even spent a while killing Kerbals by dropping command pods onto the launch pad while 'assisting' their descent with SRB's pointing towards the floor. Needless to say, many Kerbals perished (and I am a terrible person) but there was no sign of Bill, Bob or Jeb. I actually currently have 3 or 4 kerbonauts named "Dilney Kerman" all on active mission. Maybe they are clones.

However, I have become pretty attached to my own 'original 3' Orlorf, Wehrbald and Sherlick Kerman. They were the first guys to orbit, first guys on Mün and Minmus (since the saves got reset in 0.16) and I still haven't killed them! They now spend their days retired, living on the Mün in what used to be my Mün Research Lab. The lab was later replaced by the more sophisticated MünLab 2.0 and was sold as real estate.
