    Just like the Apollo 1 fire and various Soyuz incidents, this is exactly who you pick for spaceflight. You want a person who, when bad shit happens, doesn’t panic, and then you train the absolute shit outta them until performing your tasks while there’s a literal fire or your air is running out (remember, 10 seconds of useful consciousness) or you’re drowning or whatever is just muscle memory.
