Space can make humans insufferable.
Despite humanity's meager history of space travel, over which only a few hundred individuals have ventured beyond the cozy confines of Earth's atmosphere to the great vacuum beyond, we've already had numerous examples of misbehavior.
Much lower gravity than we're used to on Earth reshapes the brain, which in turn can worsen our behavior.

One word: "Mark kellygiffords". Having interfaced with some during the years, some are brilliant, others egotistical assclowns, some down to earth regular folks.

Don’t want to go into space with leftists. Oh no, do not go. The sun going supernova would be better.

The one science fiction book never written would have crew members on a long space voyage turning into Woke zombies accusing each other of microaggressions and then tearing each other apart limb from limb...
;-)
(There was the movie “Passengers” which was somewhat in that direction—but it more a takeoff on “Lord of the Flies”.)

Given enough time in microgravity, and with the aid of salubrious activities like sleep, mental stimulation, and exercise, the brain adapts... Hmm. They missed one.

You will lose.
They live in empty space all the time, and will beat you with experience.

None of the astronauts I have met were aggressive.
Although the last one kept rambling on about his dead wife’s charitable foundation.

Actually one can only contemplate in horror what they
would look like after NASA engineers got done making
them. At least SpaceX would have some style.
If manufactured by Tesla there would be some electricity
involved...and batteries.
