The headline is a little misleading. It's saying that they selected the geology team that will plan the science mission for the astronauts, not that the geologists will go

Thanks, a reread of the article only makes it clearer the astronauts and geologists are separate teams in the third paragraph. I had thought they just... had people with educations in both areas. Surely there's one person out there who is good at/capable of both being an astronaut and a geologist who would want to go?
