Astronauts get 9 centimeters high in space

An astronaut from Japan said that after three weeks in the International Space Station, its height increased 9 centimeters (3.15 inches). Nariishige Kanai wrote in social media on his page, he is now scared that he will tie the Russian soyuz at the time when he returns to the earth in June. After reaching the space, the height of the astronauts increased by two to five cm.

Because of the lack of gravitational energy in the space, the height of the spinal cord increases. But after returning to Earth, the excess height reduced to the astronauts returning to normal heights.

On Twitter, Mr. Kanai wrote, 'Good morning everyone I want to make a big announcement. Our height has been measured in space. Wow, I'm 9 cm long. I grew up like a lottery. It was not so after the school. I am afraid that when I come back, I will tighten my suspension. '

Why is this astronomical height higher than the normal Japanese? On this question, British astronaut Libby Jackson said, '9cm more, but it is possible. The body structure of the individual is the same. '

Tanisai was the first Japanese to visit the International Space Station in Norijegi.
