Best Answer

When an astronaut goes to space, the lack of gravity in the capsule or the space station will make his bones and joints very weak. A period of 2-hour exercise is required every day so that his bones will not shatter when he returns to Earth. Technically the astronauts' bones will not get thinner, but instead weaker. Problems like osteoporosis can be caused if the astronaut stays in space for extended periods of time.
