Check this one out:

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,

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
