Japanese astronaut who's grown 3-1/2 inches in space hopes he'll fit in vehicle that takes him back home

Isn’t this due to fluid moving around the discs in the back? I know I read or heard somewhere that people can grow almost a half inch in height while sleeping due to the fluid moving around as such. I guess micro-gravity just does the same thing right?

id like to see that shaved ape in space

They’d send May, who would hate it

they put him on a U2 in some spinoff series, he did not like the pressure suit one bit

Well, I was kind of thinking the Future Patient might be already in an environment where zero-G was available, or was going for an upgrade rather than a repair. But yes, good point I should have noted.
