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.

A botanist was the protagonist of The Martian.

I'm guessing that means we're hopelessly off topic by now. Kinda like Reddit, but slower and less pathetic.

The reference above is to the book "The Martian" by Andy Weir. Also a movie starring Matt Damon. Good read. Highly recommend!

Xkcd reference that got me to read it: https://xkcd.com/1536/

I disagree. I watched a movie.
