Grammar

have or having (possession) in a sentence

0Can't get this one to play right in my head, using any grammar. I'm a 2nd year language student writing a paper and it needs to be perfect:-) 02br

01i00Astronauts (who) have (01span00having02span00) the best physical en mental conditions, are most likely to be sent to the ISS (Smolders, 1980).02i02br
02br
00This is a quote from a book but why did they use have and not having? Is there any difference with having? I feel having is better because the astronauts would have to have the qualities every time they go to space. They shouldn't 'lose' them intermittently. 02br
00As native speakers, what would you suggest? 02br

00many thanks,02br
