Astronauts "grow" in space because of a lack of gravity. Much like people tend to shrink as they age is due to weakened bone structure coupled with gravity.
This affect can also be seen by laying down for an extended period of time like when you go to bed.
Gravity is distributed differently across your body and as such you may notice that you've grown a fraction of a centimeter.
