Our ultimate success in space will require tapping into and taking maximum advantage of the full range of human capabilities and talents. On Earth the utilization of skills is often constrained by the perception of “disabilities”. Many of these “disabilities” may in fact be offset and in certain situations be positives in the hard conditions of space.
