How are tiers decided?
Tiers are achievement-first— we trust the dataset's curated records[] field. Hours alone don't earn gold: Apollo crews flew for days, ISS crews for months — both produced legends, for different reasons. Only documented records capture that.
- LEGEND2+ documented records — firsts, milestones, named historical achievements
- ELITE1 record, or 4,000+ hours, or 6+ EVAs — a career-defining flight
- VETERAN2+ missions, 500+ hours, or at least one spacewalk
- ROOKIEA single short flight
