Lie in bed for 90 days, earn $5000

NASA are looking for volunteers to stay in bed for 90 days so the effects of being in space for extended periods can be monitored. Being in bed for three months apparently mimics the space travel experience.

90 days, that’s like spending 2,160 hours in bed in one hit… you’d need to have something planned for that sort of downtime.

We require that subjects come in to the study with a goal - something they can do that can pass the time and look forward to each day. It might be something like learning a language. I have someone who is continuing his employment. I have another subject who is looking to make a career change.

And, word of warning, no “conjugal visits” are permitted either. 90 days is a long time to spend alone in space…
