Astronauts get taller when they are in space.

why??i wna go in space so that i will grow taller

Can You Really Thats Instresting, Thats Cool

I'm sure this is right, since the graviational pull on the earth pulls you down, you can't really grow that much after your growing spurt, but on the moon or in space, there's little to no gravity and so you can grow again .

that is weird

i wanna be an astronaut if its true..

they do not i'v been thare before don't beleave those suckers i am a star who are you going to bealeve me or them if you pick me i will give you 6 tickets to my comsert text me on yahoo mail mileyc45@yahoo.com

This is because when on earth your spine is being compressed by gravity making you seem about 1-2 in. shorter. When in space there isn't a gravity pull so your spine then decompresses causing it to stretch out all they way. So if you wanna think of it this way we are all about 1 - 2 inches taller than me seem on earth. I learned this when I visited NASA in Cape Canaveral, FL.

i think this is just a mith because there is no evidence soporting this fact

I have slight scoliosis (however it is spelled) and I'm 15, hypothetically if I went into space, would my spine straighten out? If i went into space and also my bones were growing would it get fixed??

lol, if ur miley then how come ur last name is spelled wrong! "cirus" its cyrus!

Astronauts get taller when they are in space.

oh just forget elizabeth cirus she's posted on almost all the facts and saying they arent true,ive been studying gods and space and i got a book of space and its true of history,so dont trust elizabeth cirus!

how long they can grow ........and how tall they can grow

why is that so?

dont trust miley cyrus!!facts are true! facts are true!!

That is because when you are on earth the gravity bends you spine down,when your in space no force is pulling it down so it can expand to full length

Yeah, man, I need a few more inches....holla!!!

i dnt think dis is true a body of a person stops growing after a certain age so d body of the astronaut will not grow!!!

I really don't know about going into space.I want to get taller, but with all the other stuff...

If your a midget do you grow shorter?

i wish i could get tall like they are im so small im like 4'8

how much taller can an astronaut became when they are in space

i wanna get taller.

HOW ABOUT IF THEY'RE VERY TALL HERE IN EARTH THAT'S UNFAIR! IM TALL THOUGH...

hi

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!??????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!@!!!!!!!!!!!E$%$@^%@

thanks for answers

In between each vertebrae in you back is a small amount of cartilage, every time you lay down the pressure put upon these segments eases and the cartilage expands. After sleep you re actually slightly taller than when you went to bed. In space there is little to no downward force acting upon your spine so yes you would be slightly taller in space than on earth.
