I figure Palpatine probably boarded the first one offscreen in some non-movie canon material. Even considering Palpatine, Wedge outlived everyone else who had been to both Death Stars.

Max Rebo. He survived Jabba's sail barge exploding and Garsa Fwip's Sanctuary exploding. If something explodes, he was there and survived.
We all know Luke blew up the first Death Star. Right?
I have a conspiracy theory that Luke didn’t actually take the shot- R2 was faking it and took the shot for him. (And he was piloting Anakin’s fighter in TPM, too.)
Basically, R2 is secretly the hero of the show and the mains were all just his beard.
C3PO is his beard.
