I wrote a new researched essay about how deep space programs select candidates for long duration space flights and future Mars base living, and why they prefer calm agreeable hardworking introverts. If a fully fledged Space Age kicks off, which it looks like its about to- there will be massive workforce demand for candidates with this personality complex, and I use new cross cultural data to show that these traits are much more common in East Asians, which might therefore influence the demographic outcome of spacecraft and base staffing. Surprisingly, these traits are also more common in several traditionally underrepresented in aerospace like Tibetans, Sherpas, Scandinavians, Amish, Papuans, and many East Asian cultures, which makes me believe Asians might make up a disproportionate amount of future space crews (at least prior to full terraforming.)
