The Voyager Program is coming along just fine and if I'm reading the reports right, it's just a matter of time before the President asks me to build a dream team to populate the planet. We've learned a lot about mankind from what's transpired here on earth and we have a good idea of what we want and don't want in the members of our starter pack. The stakes are high as these initial Marslings will likely determine the ultimate fate of our species. First and foremost, we want people who have demonstrated a knack for being part of the solution to the challenges and crises that will invariably arise. While the successful dream team candidate will vent and grieve like the average person, he will distinguish himself by quickly moving on to adopt a "can do" attitude and dive into creative problem solving without concern for how he looks in a Speedo. For the ideal candidate, the motivation behind her comprehensive and eclectic list of achievements will be a burning desire to acquire the skills and experiences necessary to help others in society - not a quest to feather her own nest. Dream team members must be very comfortable with engaging themselves in the work of imperfect solutions - but continue to strive for robust solutions that reflect an understanding of the problems and the imperfect people assembled to solve them. People who like themselves too much need not apply. While we do not consider gender in the review process, we will need at least one fertile male and one fertile female to make this thing work.
