Bone density loss, radiation exposure, extended recovery time post microgravity.

I'm sure they mind as much as all those things matter.

I also imagine you prep very differently for an 8 day mission vs a 6 month mission. In terms of physical fitness, trainings, family life etc.

Psychological fitness, too. 8 days away from civilizations is a very different mental state to get into than 8 months away.

Imagine being stuck in a space station 250 miles away from the human population for 8 months with one other person and they have some annoying roommate quirk, like snoring in their sleep
