Then participate in NASA's Bed Rest Study!

Essentially, you lay in bed for 3 months while they study the effects on your body! HAHA!

[sr20]sean · 05-10-2008, 11:19 AM

i couldnt make it haha

den9 · 05-10-2008, 12:33 PM

holy **** this is my dream job, im surprised no one has told me about this yet

3 months though? i wonder if u get an hour out of ur cell to play in the courtyard?

seriously though, 3 hots and a cot for 3 months and get 15 grand, and u can say u worked for nasa on ur resume

i wonder what kind of activities u can do while stuck there?

edit- it says u can move around and do normal things for the first 11-15 days, then u have to lay in bed for 90, and live within 300 miles of houston

broken dreams

I'm sure that is more then 90 days and I wouldn't be in one position in bed the whole time, I'd be flopping around.

Either way it seems very unhealthy to do nothing for 90 days

PhillySVT · 05-10-2008, 06:13 PM

sweet.....I have over 2 1/2 months of paid vacation time saved up!

I have seen horrible bed sores after 2 weeks.

I wonder if they make you eat astronaut food for 3 months too. I love space ice cream, but not that much lol.

I thought the purpose of this experiment was to let the muscles atrophy to test the effects of very gravity on the human body. You would think they wouldnt let you move around at all.

Drftpretty · 05-10-2008, 06:36 PM

Kevin · 05-10-2008, 07:15 PM

As long as it is a healthy low fat diet then your blood CHO should be fine, etc etc

Cardriverx · 05-10-2008, 11:48 PM

ScubaSteve · 05-11-2008, 04:56 PM

Sweet? Laying on your stomach for 3 months would literally be torture.

RSX Type-Slow · 05-12-2008, 04:05 PM
