So he put himself in stasis? Then how did he get out of that then? It took the crew to get Matt Damon's character out of stasis fwiw.

Yep. They may be the most intelligent and well trained for space humans there are but they are still human beings and human beings need social contact to survive. I just can't imagine being stuck in cramped quarters in the inky black of space all by myself staring down at a planet knowing that in a month or so, this astronaut will finally finish that step back on to the shuttle but it'll take another month or three to close the door and then the tidal wave still has a couple months to reach the shuttle.
