Obviously NASA doesn't know that and we can't blame them. On the other hand we the viewer can't help but know that chances are they'll have to break protocol to save the two's lives.
If think if they stayed and waited for rescue before the tank ruptured, Damien would have died from Hypothermia.

I was thinking the same thing. It is possible that Hibito did use more oxygen, because of strenuous things he had to do, but we viewers just aren't tolled if 60 minutes really did pas. We only know that he has 40 min and 20 min of oxygen left .
For example, he could have 20 min oxygen left, but rather then that 60 minutes passed only 40 minutes passed.
