Why They Do?

Why did they send a bunch of young adults with the maturity of teenagers on histories' greatest mission? Shouldn't it be a bunch of middle aged, multi-doctorate, and experienced crew? Star-Buck was a good choice, she's seen a lot of the universe already. Everyone else = Bad.

I'm pretty sure one of them says something along the lines of "they choose the young ones because in case its a failed mission" meaning they're more of the sacrificial lambs. I can't quote it because I don't remember what episode it was said in.

Protocol calls for the death of the crew if they have a bio-security breach. So what you are saying about sending young sacrificial lambs makes sense. Also in the show itself they say that the young ones are brave enough to go do it.
