Reason, logic, analysis, rationality.
Those aren’t understood today.

The minimum is one.
CHARISMA +10 is the max, IIRC, but you can always shuffle them between settlements.

The early Don Johnson movie, “A Boy and His Dog”, showed some ideas on how to survive. In the underground city of Topeka Kansas they wanted him to help replenish the population. The method was a bit different than he thought it was going to be:

There will be the apocalypse.
Only a few will survive the carnage.
Jesus will rescue the Jews from imminent extinction.
He will rule the world from Jerusalem.
Jewish women will have babies by the bus load.

Though it does not inform on the subject of space exploration whish is the main thrust of the article, it is an interesting point.

The method was a bit different than he thought it was going to be: The movie was based on the Harlan Ellison story "A Boy and His Dog". It was pretty much and attack on western civilization and human nature, as we know it.
Ellison was a degenerate misanthrope who had talent and wrote well.

Two .... one of God’s each ... male and female, about 18 or 20 years old (or as I suspect, about 33 ... but that’s a different theological theory)
