No thanks! You literally lay in bed, can't even sit up, for 70 straight days. F* That! NASA Is Paying Me $18,000 to Lie in Bed for Three MonthsAfter the three-week pre-bed rest phase, there was but one mission left: to get in bed and stay there for 70 days. I gathered and arranged all that I could put within arm's reach of my bed. I used a proper toilet one last time. I looked out the window for a final view of the outside world. Then, it was time to go head-down. Almost immediately, I was fighting the six degree angle. Every time I turned or twitched, I slid toward the headboard and, within a few minutes, was slammed against it with my neck turned sideways. To resist the gravitational pull, I laid as still as possible, but then the back pain began to set in.

That's 97 days minimum, 105 days maximum. $18,000/97 days = $185.57 per day $185.57/24 hours = $7.73 per hour $18,000/105 days = $171.43 per day $171.43/24 hours = $7.14 per hour The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour You're not really getting paid all that well.

Which drives the per hour rate even further down. Quoting: Sol Neman "Pre-bed rest period" From the same link I posted above... The first few days were a blur of body scans, needles, physical tests; urine jugs filled, collected, and analyzed. One day, amongst the laundry list of testing on my daily schedule, I saw the "Muscle Twitch Test" on my agenda. Researchers strapped me into a modified leg extension machine, put a shin guard on my right leg, and fastened it to the machine while they explained the nature of the test: "The brain only allows you to exert about 85 percent of a muscle's full capability, so in order to bypass that limitation and measure the full force of your muscle, we are attaching these electrodes to your leg to stimulate it directly at varying amperages until we find its maximum output." In layman terms, they shocked the fuck out of my leg some 20 times to see how hard I would kick. After the fifth shock, I was wincing and cursing; by the tenth, I was wishing eternal damnation upon all of NASA.~*Ride the Wave*~ |
