You Calling Me An Astro-Nought?
A scientist has declared that long-distance space travel will leave us short, fat and bald. Astrobiologist Dr Lewis Dartness revealed at the Cheltenham Science Festival that living without gravity would cause space travellers' bones and muscles not to develop properly. He said "future spacemen and women are likely to become pretty chubby."
FOOTNOTE: Fat chance.

Short fat and bald? That would describe about half the men I know...funny, didn't know that they'd spent so much time in space!
For post of the day, I would love nominate Sandy at Curley's Corner for Phone

Just like the people in Wall-E. Something to look forward to for us all. Maybe I'm half way to being an astronaut without knowing it.
im ready to go now then
Great, so much for evolution.
Ha! I thought we were all like that anyway....so no change then!

Guess that explains Jabba the Hut!
Motto ~ stay on Earth and become short, fat and bald!
I wonder how he knows! ~ Eddie
word verification: FATIKINS haha!
Judging from the folks I see, most of us are getting a head start on the body shape.
Sounds like the film Wall-e! Smiling today as I read this!! ~Janine
i know quite a few space men based on that description.
Considering how much water is in our bodies and the behaviour of liquids in zero gravity the floating lump form seems fairly evident. Which is why we are having our astronauts do so much sport when they are up.
how ironic, weightless and overweight...
