I think it takes a well rounded person to become an Astronaut. NASA selects the cream of the crop from the various branches of the services. They put them thru a battery of tests - both physical and mental - to gauge their suitability. I heard of a would be Astronaut being interrogated by a psychologist. The head doctor handed him a blank piece of paper and asked him what he saw in it. The applicant answered that it's upside down. I guess when you are spinning around in orbit with zero gravity a lot of things look upside down........I think he passed the test.
