Arcane
Perhaps she's uniquely comfortable with the idea because of her work?
I felt as though she comes off throughout the game as being at least partially in denial or at least is refusing to be as introspective about it as Simon is. The way she treats other brain-scanned robots in the game, i.e. justifying everything awful they do to them because they're 'not human' or 'not like us', despite the fact that there is pretty much no objective difference between Simon, Catherine, or any other brain-scanned robot at PATHOS-II, really said that to me. Pretty much all the other robots you encounter in the game who're willing to talk to you are fairly lucid, just deeply in denial about their current situation, I'd imagine Catherine's not that different, and the fact that she essentially stops existing every time you take her out of a console stops her from thinking on it too much.
EDIT: Plus there's a good chance she's aware that she'll overload herself and 'die' if she's put under too much stress, which'd be bad for obvious reasons. So not thinking on her current situation and focusing on getting the ARK shot into space'd be a good way to keep herself focused.
