So there was a post in r/nasa regarding suicide in space while on mission. The OP apparently meant planned/assisted suicide in the case of some mission failure or equipment failure making it impossible to return to earth.

This got me really curious. What happens if someone dies while on a mission? What if there is a mental breakdown of sorts?

I feel like there has to be at least a small amount of paranoia in regards to all the possible catastrophes. What if that paranoia overcomes a sound mind?

Has there ever been a case like this? Has there ever been violence among the crew of any sorts? Has anyone ever died while on a mission in space? Self inflicted or otherwise?

Marked NSFW cuz i guess its a sensitive subject maybe

Edit cuz i wrote the same line twice.
