NASA is looking to pay someone $17K to spend 90 days in bed doing nothing. If you are feeling a little like Peter in Office Space then this is your chance to blow off work for 90 days, do absolutely nothing and still get paid for it.
After the first 11-15-day period, participants will spend 90 days lying in bed, (except for limited times for specific tests) with their body slightly tilted downward (head down, feet up). Every day, they will be awake for 16 hours and lights out (asleep) for 8 hours.
So really if you have some reading to catch up on or a big ass crochet project you just haven’t been able to find the time for then this might be right up your alley. Apparently there is some actual science behind this study. Our bodies have evolved special mechanisms to deal with the gravitational forces that act on us while we are here on Earth. Astronauts that spend extended periods of time in space under much lower gravitational forces experience problems with muscle atrophy and loss of bone density. NASA scientists use the head down ass feet up bed test to simulate these conditions.
So if you are tired of your job or just finished college and are trying to avoid the real world fill out the application and see if you can spend your summer in bed. Shit 90 days in bed eating NASA food might be a good way to burn off some those college/post college beer pounds.

Am in! If I could also donte eggs during the testing this would be the most lucatrive summer ever! But the real question is can you have visitors?
