Yeah I mean, they only signed up to be there for so long. And are they paid on a contract? If so they are literally just losing money.

They’re employees of NASA. They receive a salary. They probably get hazard pay as a bonus, though.

Because I’m Canadian, I have never worked as an astronaut and it was a mission on a private crew capsule that I know for sure was handled with contracts.

But I wasn’t sure, and I was corrected, thanks to the good people of Lemmy.
