Get Paid $18,000 to Stay in Bed For 70 Days
 
NASA is currently looking to pay a number of volunteers $18,000 to lie in bed for 70 days. Participants will be allowed to play games, talk to friends and family members, take classes, even work remotely for their real job, as long as they do not get out of bed for the entire duration of the experiment.

I already applied...

Don't make a mistake, 70 days in bed will be torture. You'll get bored out of your head and the amount of muscle mass that you'll lose and have to regain afterwards will be awful. Even the walk to the loo will be exhausting. I wouldn't sign up for just 18.000$ and I'm unemployed right now.:timeout:

you sure you don't have to do THAT in bed too?

its a nasa test so im sure you will have to use some sort of an astronaut toilet from bed because you aren't allowed to walk or use your muscles

Jimbuna 11-04-13 01:13 PM

Stick a nappy/diaper on em, they'll be fine...even if a little smelly :03:

Armistead 11-04-13 01:23 PM

I didn't read it, but how big is the bed?

I want the fine details.....

STEED 11-04-13 01:25 PM

Well then lots of sex and the time will fly by...wait a minute! NASA is moving into the porn business. :huh:

I'm shocked! :o

"We want people who have the physical and psychological characteristics of an astronaut. They should be able to do the kind of activities that astronauts do.”

That rules 99% of us out......oh well..

Nope, you'll probably get some diaper or bottle. I meant you'll have problems after the test is done.

So...is this....Hypersleep research? :hmmm:

TarJak 11-05-13 02:25 AM

I wonder what yubba makes of it. Must be a good conspiracy theory to come out of it if NASA is involved. :hmmm:

Because of sudden health problems I had to spend a week in hospital. Most entertaining stuff I could do was sleeping as I was (except last two days) confined to bed. :timeout:

Five days essentially tied into bed except visiting toilet with nurses assistance was excruciating. I can't even imagine what kind of torture that NASA's offer will be. :o
