【正文】 sian spaceman Mikhail Kornienko— wrapped up early Wednesday when they landed in freezing Kazakhstan aboard a Soyuz spaceship. One of the effects of the spending such a long time without gravity was that Kelly’ s spine(脊柱 ) got longer temporarily, making him grow centimeters, only to go back to normal as he returned to Earth. His twin brother, Mark Kelly, said they were the same height again by the time they hugged in Houston early on Thursday. According to John Charles, human research program associate manager of international science at NASA(National Aeronautics and Space Administration), any height gain “ probably went away very quickly because fluid(體液 ) gradually got more and more in the discs between the bones in the spine.” Kelly also said reports that he had grown a full centimeters were exaggerated. “ I don’ t know where that came from. I did measure myself and it was an inch and a half, so maybe somebody just decided to just round up and write it as a fact,” he told reporters in his first extended media appearance since his rectum. The details are of great importance because a team of doctors is carefully researching all the differences between Kelly and his twin, who is also a spaceman but who stayed on Earth to take part in the study. The details of those ongoing studies are secret for now, as scientists will do further analysis and provide their findings for other researches before publishing them. The idea is to learn more about the harmful effects of spaceflight before NASA green lights any deeper space mission to Mars, journeys that would last a year or more. 32． What made Scott Kelly grow taller after he spent 340 days in space？ A． Loneliness.
