some one family oriented.
NASA actually claims families should go as groups. they have a much better chance of following designated leaders, namely "mom" and "dad"

Good question!
She/He would have to have an incredible amount of empathy towards others. It would be very important to know how others were feeling. To know when your own behaviour is driving someone else crazy. To be able to be diplomatic and unselfish about all things.
I imagine it would be easy to go "Stir Crazy" locked up in a space ship with the same people all the time. Rarely getting the chance to have time alone.
Not many people would be suited to do that.

the optimal person would be a person suffering from OCD and apathy. kind of a hard combo to find. They must be diligent in the routine and procedure. yet not care for self/others. In other words a 'functional' psychotic individual.
The very same kind of person who could work in a nuke silo and happily press the button that would end the world.
Kinda makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing such people exist

Actually, none.
We are not designed to endure such long trips.
It won't be until we develop really fast engines, or space warp engines, that we will be able to go any where.
And that's the fact jack!
