[0:24]And so, when it comes to super intelligence, no, not at all. You have need to have a mixture of academic skills, but more importantly, it's personality and character, it's soft skills.
[0:33]It's how do you cope under pressure? Can you work well in a team? Are you able to communicate when the going gets tough? These kind of skill sets are more important than any level of super intelligence.
[0:43]So you can't be moody or volatile. That doesn't help. No, no. So are all astronauts sort of super sort of zen and calm and genial kind of characters?
