I know depression usually has a grave cause and astronauts have quite an active schedule. But say their family dies. Depression makes you think and perceive time differently. Surely wouldn’t it become a risk to the mission? You can’t steamroll over it…

    Besides what everyone else has said about screening, I’d suspect the astronauts are pretty cut off from the world.

    If ground control can control all communication, what’s to stop them from censoring?

      Good point. In a way, I wish I had my own ground control.

      Edit: surely I can’t be the only one who can’t trust themselves with time/internet? I wonder what other people who wished they had parents to supervise them do…
