I knew some people in that biz. There actually has been a mutiny or two over the years due to fatigue and workload on the ISS. At some point you get sick of doing science, cleaning, and mx 14 hours/day seven days a week and just want to curl up, float in a corner somewhere, and read or watch the earth roll by.
