A really good space suit yeah, but what else in terms of skills to effectively manage projects in a hostile, unforgiving and extremely risky environment? I would say 100% mastery of risk management techniques and response plans. Saving Changes...

William, yes EQ will have to be on a par with IQ I believe. Being one of a handful of people on the planet with possibly no return mission would involve major self maturity and emotional assessment.
