Everybody, listen up . . . I've got a really great opportunity to tell you about.
NASA is conducting a bed-rest study, and they're willing to pay $17,000 to anyone who's willing to stay in bed . . . for 90 days straight (--that's 2,160 hours).
If you're accepted into the study, you'll spend 24 hours a day on your back with your head just slightly lower than your feet. You'll be awake for 16 hours a day, and get a solid eight hours of sleep every night.
Sounds great, right? Here's the catch. In order to qualify for the study . . .
#1.) You have to pass the Air Force physical for flight duty. (--Fat lazy bastards looking to get paid for 3 months of being a fat lazy bastard need not apply.)
#2.) You have to go to Houston, Texas, for the duration of the test, so NASA's scientists can observe you from their Human Test Subject Facility at Johnson Space Center. (Wired)
So you know, NASA hasn't said WHY they're conducting this bed-rest experiment, other than to say they want to learn the effect of microgravity . . . or weightlessness . . . on the human body.
