NASA pays $ 19,000 to anyone who stays in bed for two months

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are looking for 24 lucky volunteers to participate in a special experiment: spend two full months in bed.

The elect will have to rest in a slightly inclined bed so that their legs are higher than their head, a position that limits the flow of blood to the extremities and leads to muscle deterioration.

According to
In the NY Post, space agencies seek to test whether artificial gravity can complement regular exercise to maintain the physical state of astronauts.

The participants, who will be studied in two groups of 12, will be able to spend the day watching television, films, playing video games or reading, but they will also have to go to a laboratory centrifuge, which will push them blood to the foot gravity

In addition to two months of sleep, volunteers will have an additional 30 days to recover from the experience.
