Endurance:

'This skill is added to the capsule safety factor during space duration attempts and lunar missions.'

I believe it might also influence fitness washing out, but I'm not certain on that. Duration missions are important for raising the safety of equipment as it tests them long term in preperation for lunar missions.

In the last such test, shortly after liftoff, ground crew were astonished to hear him shout 'Do a barrel roll!' at the pilot. The pilot, distracted by the launch test and the circumstances, promptly performed a barrel roll."
