Would you like to be 2 inches taller? Become an astronaut!

Scott Kelly celebrated his highly anticipated return to Earth after spending a year in space by jumping into a pool with all his clothes on.

 

It was one of the first things the American astronaut did when he finally made it home to Houston after undergoing hours of initial medical tests and data collection, he wrote on Facebook on Friday, posting a short video of his nighttime dip. “Been a busy couple days since I’ve been back on the planet and at home,” he said. “After a long night and early morning, I finally made my way home. Great to be back on Earth. There’s no place like home!”

 

Kelly, who landed back on Earth in Kazakhstan last Tuesday after a historic 340 days in space, plunges into the pool sideways and emerges a short time later with a sigh of relief, the video shows. “Man, that feels good,” he says with a laugh.

Astronaut Scott Kelly and his twin brother used to be the same height.

 

But it's likely that won't be true when the two stand side by side for the first time in nearly a year.

 

NASA's Jeff Williams told CNN that Scott Kelly grew 2 inches during his time aboard the International Space Station

 

It was expected, and it's temporary, Williams said.

 

"Astronauts get taller in space as the spine elongates," Williams said, "but they return to preflight height after a short time back on Earth."

Who wouldn't. But then again, I'm cute as a short guy.

Maybe "little Marco Rubio" would go to tge space for a year before running against incumbent president Hillary Clinton in 2020... no need for cuban heels if he's 2 inches taller.
