"Rescue" conveys a much more negative situation than "unplanned itinerary change where the astronauts are safe and which they are happy about because they get to spend more time in space".

Bone deterioration equating to decades in a matter of months, heart health impact, time away from family... it's negative.

I bet if you asked each of them if they could extend such a unique experience - one they're unlikely to experience again - would they say yes? IN. A. FCKING. HEARTBEAT.

The postive's overwhelm the negatives by an infinite amount.

You might be right, only they can say. I just don't take their statements in a press conference at face value, but yeah there is that silver lining.
