What it takes to be an astronaut

#1

Post by smp »

From CNN:

"Some of an astronaut's success is training; some of it's DNA.

It's the ability to adapt, react quickly, knowing when to lead and when to follow, communicating effectively, remembering training and expecting the unexpected.

It's the right stuff."

I thought this was quite a good read.
