Astronaut apologises for 'fake news' of 9-cm growth in space
Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai has apologised for providing "terrible fake news" that he grew taller by 9 cm within three weeks aboard the International Space Station. After his captain raised suspicion, Kanai found he had grown by only 2 cm. Earlier worrying he might not fit into the spacecraft to return to Earth, the astronaut said he was now "relieved".
