NASA Paid This Guy $18,000 To Lie In A Bed For 70 Days

[mercurial]

Would you take $18,000 (£11,700) to stay bed-ridden for 70 days straight? And we mean bed-ridden; you must remain horizontal at all times (yes, even when going to the toilet), enduring all the physical pain that involves.

Well, last year, NASA paid about 50 volunteers to do just that, to learn how muscle and bone would deteriorate in such conditions. The research may be useful for lengthy space missions in the future, such as trips to Mars.

Would you do it?

No thank you, the money sounds good but I'd go absolutely insane.

I don't like pissing and ****ting in the bed.

Never. I can't even imagine having to take a dump lying down

Can't even handle an hour of just lying there without getting irritable/cramps and pain. Nope, nope and nope.
