NASA will pay you $18,000 to stay in bed for 70 straight days

[Madness]

I guess I can do that  
Participants are allowed to read books, Skype, play games, as well as use their phones and computers throughout the duration of the study. Pretty much anything is fair game, so long as you remain in bed, earning a cool $1,200 per week.

This study is designed to achieve three core tasks:

1) Understanding how one’s changing physiology in space may affect the process of certain missions.
2) Understanding the impact of one’s physiological state on their ability to perform in particular tasks.
3) Preparing countermeasures to combat any impairment that these physiological conditions may impose.

I don't know about that mate
Very few folks can stay in a tiny defined space for that long. It would drive me up the wall....

What about toilet?

What about toilet?

Obviousuly that too , how do you want someone to stay 70 days without going to the toilet . they shouldn't care much about that since they will be in space tho haha
I would become a volunteer if I could , what is listed there is basically what I do everyday . just with NASA it's better since I get paid

stay in bed means that stay in the room ? and never get out till 70 days can we sit for a moment on the bed ? can we walk on bed

I guess no.

For the first 13 days for non-exercising subjects and 21 days for exercising subjects, you’re able to move freely (in and out of bed) within the bed rest facility. However, after this period you will be prohibited from leaving the bed for the next 70 days

then it will be very hard task can we negotiate with nasa saying that 8000$ for 20 days ?

You would have to do toilet whilst in bed...  this is the least of your worries.  Muscles wasting away and losing core body strength would be a small concern.  Back and hip problems after maybe.  bedsores could be a problem or is that only if you remain still in bed?

Easy money if you ask me, if you ever have a bad injury you could be in bed for longer without pay and in pain.

I don’t know how this study could be legal. What is the Federal Minimum Wage? At 168 hours a week (since you have NO time away from the “job” for $1200 per week you’re getting $7.15 per hour STRAIGHT TIME with NO OVERTIME PAY. It’s a federal job so this shouldn’t be legitimate.

Apart from that staying in bed without any exercise would be all another challenge.

You would repeatedly have to take toilet breaks to not lose on exercise.

I don't think they are considering it like an employment for the entire 70 days. They are probably not counting the sleep you would have had in your normal routine as well.

Sounds excruciatingly dull and mindnumbing
The money is just recompense for what sounds like torture..

[crazykiddo]

I will do it for $2000 no problem. Please contact NASA for me.

[izanagi narukami]

NASA testing out out passion 
and got paid ?
Interesting 

Have you seen Interstellar movies ? They ever sleep on the chamber over 20 years.
I don't have any idea how it feels like when they woke up

crazykiddo sale is now on, call quick while stocks last.

[grendel25]

If I had more leave saved up I could probably sign up.  Was there an age limitation... are they taking seniors?  Maybe they'll do it again in 3 years and I might be able to participate.

$18k in by NASA and + 18k by posting in the forum the whole day.

Not a bad deal

You would have really big problems with muscles and you wouldn't be able to stand on your own for another at least 30 days without exercising in bed.

[koelen3]

I can do it provided my gf's with me on the bed for the whole time too
And my muscles won't go loose  IF you know*
