Hi Sam,
My name is John Foster and I work for a company called Solitaire Creative and we are working with The Johnson Space Center (NASA) and their research arm, Wyle, to promote a Flight Analogs Project (Space Flight Simulation/Bed Rest Study) for NASA and I would like to speak with you about writing an article on the study. Would you be interested? I believe your readers would be very interested in learning about the Bed Rest Study because if and when the study is completed, the participant gets paid a minimum of $17,000. The study can even be branded as an article on “Weird Jobs.”
Here’s alittle about the study: The ten-year Flight Simulation Study, which takes place in Texas, uses long-term bed rest to simulate the effects of micro-gravity an astronaut would experience during extended space flight (Space Flight To Mars). Subjects are placed in bed with the head of the bed tilted down at a minus-six-degree incline. The subjects must remain in bed for 90 days. If you’re interested in contacting and/or arranging a meeting with a NASA representative feel free to let me know and I will facilitate your request. We are currently looking for participants, both men and women, from around the U.S. You can research the topic by visiting www.bedreststudy.com and I am also available to send you more information.
Let me know if you’re interested.
Thanks much,
——–

In bed for three months at an incline? Isn’t that an enhanced interrogation technique?

I remember this being advertised in the paper when I lived in Houston. I also remember hearing about people coming out of this study with permanent physical problems. Ever try actually staying in bed all day? Try that for 3 months. You go crazy.

Definitely interested. I’d be tempted to sign up, but don’t think the prof would like the idea of me taking off 3 months to lay in bed.

I call this study B.S., and I am not talking about a university degree. By the end of the 90 days, not only you’ll go crazy and leave with a minor headache, but you’ll go DEAD as well.
