Imagine being thousands of miles away for earth floating in the space at 10000 m/h speed , witnessing endless darkness of space, witnessing biggest mystery of life...and still being worried about financial situation back on earth.
Stanley Kubrick already poked fun at this in "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). Midway to Jupiter, astronaut Frank Poole reclines and utters robotic-sounding commands to the much-more-human-sounding onboard flight computer HAL while HAL displays a video of Frank's parents blowing out candles on a birthday cake, singing Happy Birthday to Frank, and telling Frank they're working on fixing problems with his payroll. A few hours later, Frank's lifeless corpse would find itself drifting through space.
Human mind is funny.
