This seemingly simple but extremely difficult story of a man named Iwanicki helped him get up to 18,000 dollars from NASA.
Drew Iwannicki - $ 18,000 paid by NASA to lie in one place
As part of a NASA project, the project called CFT70 is designed to monitor the physiological effects of the space and bones of astronauts in space. However, not everyone dares and is competent to participate in this "marvel" test .
Drew Iwannicki must spend 70 days undergoing a number of NASA physical tests.
The 28-year-old Drew Iwanicki has officially applied for a trial in 2013. After experiencing some physics tests at NASA, Iwanicki was summoned last year and directly defeated More than 25,000 other candidates. Before Iwanicki, 54 people participated in the study and he was the last person to finish the study.
Recounting the period of persistence in bed for 70 days, Iwanicki believes that these are the most memorable memories and experiences in life.
Iwanicki recalled the first five days when he just lay in bed. It drove him crazy, the experience was quite miserable and painful due to hypertension in the head area and spinal pain.
He only had private time when he was bathing and going to the toilet.
In addition, the designed beds have a slope -6 degrees and his sleep schedule is also strictly monitored by 24/7 cameras. He only had private time when he was bathing and going to the toilet. Iwanicki was ordered to sleep from 10pm until 6am the next morning and not take a nap.
During his free time, he also participated in LSAT tests (Law School Admission Test: tests designed to assess reading comprehension, rationality and mastery of verbal reasoning. This is also an indispensable test in the process of enrolling at Law School in the US, Canada and some countries. In addition, Iwanicki can play Starcraft games and watch movies on Netflix. Everything happens directly on the bed.
Iwanicki's girlfriend once visited him once but intimate gestures, physical interactions or even sitting on the bed were minimized.

In terms of diet, nutritionists calculated and measured the amount of calories needed for each meal to ensure that Iwanicki did not increase nor lose weight after the study.
"I weigh about 136kg and after three months I still weigh 136kg. One restriction in my diet is the very low salt content . In general, the food is quite good," Iwanicki said.
The long 70-day trial schedule also ended on December 2, 2014. The first thing Iwanicki feels is the weight from his legs. Iwanicki sweats a lot, heart rate is up to 150 bpm and the body feels itchy. Due to a sudden change in blood volume, Iwanicki nearly fainted and only recovered a few minutes after the help of doctors.
The long 70-day trial schedule also ended on December 2, 2014.
Currently, Iwanicki is reviewing the LSAT tests with the intention to take law school and continue to work as an artist in the music industry.
Obviously, based on an ordinary person's stance, this NASA test may be a crazy thing but in fact, the results from the experiment are very useful. It has shown biological limitations in the human body , which will greatly hinder our dream of conquering the universe in the future.
