Their bones, heart, and muscles begin to waste away because they cannot strengthen themselves by working against Earth's gravity; if they return from over 8 months in space, their bones would instantly break. It's not a pretty picture.

Why skeleton of astronauts turn red in space?
I don't think that they do. However astronauts skeleton's do tend to lose some of their calcium while in space. This is because the lack of gravity means that the skeleton is not stressed. To try and prevent this calcium loss astronauts try and exercise hard (to stress the bones) if they are in space for a long period.
