It can be, and you have to be careful to plan your time effectively. My teaching load comes during our relatively short university terms (3 per year) and the rest of the time things can be more straightforward. It gets tricky when you have to travel to a meeting during term time (I had a meeting in Hawaii last month so I had to do a lot shuffling to fit it in). I also work my research into my teaching and teaching into my research (one of the ways university is different to school), so I have project students working on some of my space stuff with me.
One student is working on hunting down landing sites for future Moon missions using data from Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter, another is designing and programming new types of electronic musical effects and instruments in software for a computer.
We all work on a mixture of different projects all the time, so we often work on more than two things at once!

Just like life and education; it has to be balanced 🙂 Just asking, when will we be able to get to Mars? Because I know we’ll need to get a lot of fuel, and way to make it light enough to get out of Earth’s atmosphere, but is there like an approximation?
And will humans ever be able to venture of in space without the costly prices?
