Excerpt:
If you just can't get out of bed, NASA might have a mission for you.

A NASA study is recruiting volunteers to to lie in a bed that is tilted
downward at a 6 degree angle for 70 days. Subjects who complete the entire
bed rest project can earn up to $18,000.

The study is meant to test the conditions that astronauts might experience
while traveling in space. NASA hopes to find out what physical changes
occur to scientists on these missions and how much body function is
required for a person to complete a specific task.The information will be
used to develop methods that allow astronauts to have an easier time
physically acclimating to daily life following space exploration.
