Emotions on orbit?

Not something I'm used to noticing, but I did notice today a subtext of the
crew being supportive to Joe. Do I take it that this is his last mission?
Not said in so many words, but at times, for example, when the latch could
not be made to work, still, and when the last task was cut to get back on
the timeline, when the sun went down as they were entering the airlock, and
the fact that Heidi seemed to be covering for him at the end made me feel
that there were some powerful emotions going on there.

I suppose more than most crews, these people have been together for a very
long time, and almost 'own' the hardware, almost thought they might sign
their names in it!

Could be the first crew in history which need counselling when they split
up!
