The specific personality trait that makes someone volunteer for a one-way colony mission and why it terrifies the people who love them

The psychological trait that predicts who volunteers for a permanent colony mission isn't bravery — it's novelty seeking, a neurobiological disposition that makes the unknown more rewarding than the familiar. Understanding it explains why the decision terrifies the people left behind.
