Astronauts have to put up with a lot in their line of work. There’s the intense training regime and study required to actually be allowed into space, then there’s the isolation of being sent away from your home planet, and the separation from your friends and family while you're floating endlessly through the galaxy.
Oh, also, they eat really disgusting food, which probably trumps all of the rest. Probably.
NASA astronaut Terry Virts shared with the world a photo of an average space dinner, which gave us a new reason to admire space travel.

He’s calling that a cheeseburger, or more accurately a “space cheeseburger”. You wouldn’t see a burger look like that is at 4AM on Saturday night, so we pray that we never have to see a Space Kebab.

He can believe what he wants, but we’re not willing to call any of those ingredients ketchup, cheese, or beef.
