Can't select or control kerbals

[AuddieD2015]

I am on Mun with Bob and Bill. Bill EVA and could not deploy anything so I saved and restarted. Bill could no longer be selected or controlled. I EVA Bob. He could not deploy anything either. I exited completely and restarted. Now both Bill and Bob are standing on Mun and cannot be selected or controlled. They have no portraits. I really don't want to start over. Getting to Mun has been a minor nightmare and I finally land successfully and have enough gas to go home and my save breaks.

EDIT: If I open inventory, they are no longer included. They have been turned into Mun rocks.

The 'Tab' button should cycle through active vessels.  Once a Kerbal exits a capsule, the game considers them a separate vessel.  You need to change the focus from the active vessel to the Kerbal.  

If the Kerbal is standing near the capsule, try hitting the 'tab' button on your keyboard.

Otherwise, you should be able to select them from the Tracking Station.

@18WattThanks! I was just coming in to say that after having time away doing RL and getting unfrustrated that I found while checking for debris that you can control them from the Tracking Station. I was using [ and ] so thank you for the Tab advice also!
