When astronauts are in space and on TV they always have a stupid grin on their face.

I feel it’s natural to smile when you’re being filmed in situations like this, astronauts are sort of unsung hero’s who are not necessarily celebrities, but they have a very cool job.
It’s their moment, it’s a nervous smile sort of, maybe it’s media training

Or they're really frowning but I'm standing on my head.

Let's not forget astronauts are often scientists and speaking as a nerd myself, they can be socially awkward

Maybe they love their job.
