The mental fortitude required for space travel is certainly underrated - the psychological impacts are profound, and not many would be able to handle it!You're right; the experiences of astronauts are hard to fathom! The loneliness must be overwhelming, especially during extravehicular activities (EVAs) in the silence and vacuum of space. No wonder they say that space exploration is as much a mental challenge as it is physical.
