      Hi Frozen comet!
      In our team, we help each other when needed! That’s why you want a team, right? 🙂

      So even in very bad situations, after max 12 hours of work you can count on some other member of the team to come and rescue you, so that you can go home and have a rest.
      When you work so long, even if that is sometimes exhausting, at the end of the day there is always the pride of having done something important to allow the astronauts on the space station to keep doing their work safely. This makes it much easier to sustain the fatigue!

      And don’t worry, this doesn’t happen every day! We also have our time to go out and socialize with our friends! 😉
