That's dumb. The first mission will set up the following missions for success. It is the most important one. There is no such thing as "failure" regardless of who goes because there is literally nothing to measure against. But it will make a huge difference how much those first settlers get done.

We should make the best effort possible, and that means an all male, all white crew.
