- psergeant 8y agoI guess as long as a high enough percentage of the crew are flight people, you can teach someone else to not get in the way too much?

- rory096 8y agoThe Apollo astronauts were also trained quite extensively in geology. Highly recommend the Apollo 12 episode of From the Earth to the Moon for a great look at that.
