Need a break from the working, walking, and standing required by the demanding and stressful life you lead?

Well, pack your bags for Houston because NASA wants to pay you $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days.

The bed-rest experiment, to take place in the Human Test Subject Facility of Johnson Space Center, is designed to allow scientists to study some of the effects of microgravity on the human body. We read on the Bed Rest Study website:

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.

I'd do it but don't want to cut into the time I already spend in bed.. I'd have to cut back

Lol, i tried to sign up and got this:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


That shows me:

A:

.ASP suxx

B:

C:

Cheers

I wonder how NASA can afford $17,000 for this experiment...must of got a grant.

As someone said, I think they should cover all health care costs if needed after the experiment is over. The $17,000 doesn't sound like much if there's a chance of health problems later. It would be very boring for 3 months.

If it's a stasis (suspended animation) research, then I'll sign up.
3 months would be like a second if you're in stasis

Ummm, I heard about this years ago! The only problem is after the 'work' , your body is poor shape needing lots of working out to rebuild the muscle. Is it worth it? Try a sleep study first.
