Do you like to stay in bed as long as you can? NASA will pay you for
that to the tune of $170 per day. But there is a catch. You'll have to
be there 24/7 for 70 days, most of the time, with your head tilted down
and your feet up. You can play on your phone, read, play with your cat,
whatever - as long as you don't get up.
It's part of NASA's 'Bed rest studies,'
which mimics the effect of space travel in a gravity-free environment.
Results of the study will help with understanding which mission tasks
might be affected by changes in physiology during space flight; how
physiological changes map to a person's ability to do a particular task,
and design countermeasures to prevent or minimize impairment to these
physiological systems.
