I think it would just be depressing. 70 days of your life in bed, seeing your body lose it's strength... it's not worth $18,000.

No reason you can't do exercise whilst in bed is there? I know a few horizontal exercises that gives a good aerobic workout if properly performed.

As appealing as the money is, and as easy at it seems....


Not for me.

I am sure with the huge amount of Americans who "catass' all day, and do not produce anything for the society, this will be a great boon.

I am so glad the laziest will be NASAs best and brightest in the future. Go from welfare to astronaut. Far cry from Alan Shepard, Neil Armstrong, or Chuck Yeager.

I kinda get why Bush killed their budget.

Silly crap like this is why we do not have deep space capible crafts.

Why would I not do this? I can sum it up in two words

Decubitus Ulcers aka pressure sores aka bed sores

I used to have to take care of people in the hospital with these. It is not something you ever want.

What is appealing about 12 bucks an hour?

Ever think this is what we get because the republicans killed the budget not the other way around?
