I shit you not.

NASA is offering people to stay in beds and you'll get paid $17,000 at the end.

"Participants will spend 90 days lying in bed, (except for limited times for specific tests) with their body slightly tilted downward (head down, feet up). Every day, they will be awake for 16 hours and lights out (asleep) for 8 hours."

No way would I ever do that. I would barely have any muscle left over.

The pay is good, all you have to do before you go is to eat a whole lot until you go there. You'll have ton of muscles to spare in the 90 days you have to stay.

Well, fat probably.

What kind of TV's are they offering in this situation? If it's something good enough to make me want to go comatose in front of it for 90 days, fuck yes i would do that.

17k for potentially ruining your life forever and no medical insurance afterwards.

Fuck that.

90 days may be a little too much. It actually sounds unsafe to lay in bed that long. Youu will have to roll around a bit and the longest I've ever stayed in a bed was not even a day.

All the blood would rush to your head. Except it wouldn't rush, it would gradually seep towards your brain.

That sounds a little weird, I mean it seems pointless if you don't have anything to do or anyway to move around, so yeah, I wouldn't do that. Unless you had something to do.

No way I would do that for any amount of money unless I really needed it.
Mainly because of the boredom and your body turning to shit.

If they paid for a WoW subscription and gave me a shit ton of fruit and fruit juice I might consider it. I'd probably get banned for botting when the GMs saw that I was online for 16 hours a day.

Then I get out of bed, and collapse instantly, because my legs are so used to not moving...

Somehow, it doesn't seem worth it.

:(

Participants must be US citizens... I'll have to wait till ESA comes up with a similar test. Not that I'd pass the medical, anyway.

Its a damn shame, I spend 18 hours a day in bed anyway.
