传统的宇航员是严肃理智的,具备"应有素质",可以信赖他们驾驶价值数十亿英镑的设备飞行。
但根据美国航天局(NASA)的研究,任何去往火星的任务都将需要一名"搞笑分子"或"班级小丑"式的人物才能获得成功。
去往火星需要耗时两年,幽默感对任何去往火星的团队维持士气都至关重要。
佛罗里达大学人类学教授杰弗里·约翰逊是NASA人类探索研究模拟项目的顾问,该项目考察团队如何应对极端的孤独时期。
他表示:"当团队中有人扮演班级小丑的角色时,团队的工作表现最好。
这些人有能力团结所有人,当紧张局面出现时能弥合分歧并真正鼓舞士气。
"但他也补充说:"光是轻松搞笑并不足以胜任这份工作。
他们还必须是出色的科学家和工程师,能够通过严格的训练项目。
