If you’d like to make a LOT of money for just lying in bed – I’ll tell you who to sleep with...


If your dream job would pay you good money for just lying around – NASA is hiring...

In an ongoing effort to study the effects of microgravity on astronauts, NASA pays participants $17,000 to lie in bed for 90 days. Before you pack your bags for Galveston, where the Flight Analog Research Unit has their bed-rest facility, you’ll have to prove you’re in really good health and pass Air Force medical examination standards.

Once you’re in bed with NASA, you’ll be tilted head down, feet up, to simulate some effects of zero gravity. This way NASA can track your muscle atrophy and bone loss. You’ll be allowed to sleep for eight hours a day but be kept awake for the other 16. There are no conjugal visits but they will roll you into a lounge to interact with other bedridden participants. You’ll also be on camera the whole time.

To date, more than 40 people have completed NASA’s Bed-Rest study and at least eight have quit.
