“I got shorter,” Bass said on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.” Lance tried to raise $25 million to go to space in 2002 and received a crash-course in cosmonaut trainnig in Russia.

He’s not sure why he wound up 2 inches shorter, but was apparently told at the time that he looked shorter. So he measured himself and apparently there’s some Bass missing somewhere.

He said his trainers designed a special suit for him that would contract him in space but he wasn’t sure about the exact reason for his body change.
