Do you really need a botanist on board? I would think you need space travel / survival / engineering hands on deck who then gather samples and bring them back.

Do you really need a botanist on board? I would think you need space travel / survival / engineering hands on deck who then gather samples and bring them back. A botanist isn’t going to be able to do much on Mars that she can’t do on Earth.
