Earn Money...By Staying In Bed!

Thanks to the heads-up from Penny Hoarder, that is...

NASA is doing ongoing studies on how bodies are affected by weightlessness. Staying in bed for weeks at a time will help them study how muscles deal with the loss of pressure. (In other words, gravity on astronauts' bodies.)

The nice part about all this: you'll get paid up to $5000 monthly, with all your meals and expenses provided, as well. The bad part: you aren't going anywhere for up to three months.

Read about one girl's experiences as a "pillownaut;" it's not as easy as it sounds, but there are definitely benefits. (Maybe I could actually finish this book-in-progress without interruption!)

NASA is currently offering an "Exercise Study" (70 days) and a "Compression Suit" study (says 14 days, but the description suggests a month commitment). Go here for more, including an application. Hmmmm, maybe this would be worth a trip to Houston...
