Your interpretation of the message is even better. Clifford not only refused to go back to Earth, he also killed his crew for protesting to go back home. All because he couldn't think about anything other than his goal. He expected to find alien civillisations, so I imagine he wouldn't be satisfied if he found alien fungus or bacteria.

I think showing what happens to human psyche in space was quite realistic. I would also want to go home, if I was too long in the outer space. I am a homesick man. When I saw Roy, I wondered if he doesn't freak out in the end or worse gets trapped in vaccum and dies. Slow pacing gives viewer time to wonder what can happen next, you have a point.
