When you reach Level 10 of the Military Career, one 18 hour shift a week (on a Monday of all days) is acceptable and is not at all horrendous working hours.
I always interpreted it as the astronauts being sent to the moon. I would hate those kind of hours too.
I feel bad for our real life astronauts being sent to the moon for months at a time.
Well, I guess they're working on a moon-shot right now...
Considering, I'm old enough to remember the very last of the moonshots from the Apollo program... I felt for those guys like Michael Collins, Richard Gordon and the other CM pilots who ended up trekking all the way to the moon and getting stuck on the command module staring at the moon from lunar orbit.
Swigert was slated to be the CM pilot for the Apollo 13 ill-fated mission.
I hope I'm still around to see the Mars Colony established.
