NASA recruits people who lie all day, earning $ 5,000 a month

The US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) is recruiting people on the bed in a higher leg posture than in the study to test the effect of micro gravity on the body within 70 days for $ 5,000 / month. .

NASA is recruiting people in bed in a higher leg posture than 70 days

The study was conducted at Johnson Space Center in Houston. First of all, participants operate normally for 2 weeks so that scientists check their health under normal conditions.

Then, the participant will lie on an inclined bed, provided with light 16 hours a day and 8 hours in the dark. They are allowed to play games on computers, watch TV, read books, have access to the Internet and be allowed to have visitors.

Food is provided so that they can keep their body weight stable and they also have to lie in bed when bathing. The exercise in the posture is based on special equipment.

Participants only move when scientists perform tests to examine changes in bone, muscle, circulation, nutrition and immune system.

After 70 days of experimentation, participants will experience recovery time of 14 days.

Healther Archeletta, who participated in this survey 3 times, commented on his personal blog: 'I am a very active person. It's hard to be tied up on a bed, but most of us are excited to participate in the desire for a future space expedition '.

Similar studies are being carried out at the European Space Agency (ESA), within the framework of the Life Science and Physics Program at the Medes Institute in City of Toulouse - France.

Usually, when undergoing microgravity, heart rate and shortness of breath, body weight and the level of calcium in the bones decrease. Without normal gravitational force, the blood does not flow along the slope nor does the pressure from the top down, the height increases.
