NASA Will Pay You $19,000 to Stay In Bed and Be Spun In a Centrifuge

If you have a strong stomach and two months to kill, NASA might pay you $19,000 to stay in bed and spin around a centrifuge for that period. You’d be on bed rest for sixty days while researchers study the effects of weightlessness on the human body. The test will be conducted in Germany so make sure your passport is up-to-date.

If you want to participate you’ll need to be able to speak German, be between the ages of 24 and 55 and be healthy. After your 60-day nap you’ll be required to stick around for another month to be studied as you recover from your two months in bed.

The Hell Hole in Coney Island. The workers took bets on how many people could throw up per ride. Good racket, you can make some money if a day camp showed up.

Why?

All native Germans speak English fluently and everyone else in Germany speaks Arabic.

If you survive this test you’ll come out of it a different person, that’s for sure. Call it a Democrat-to-Republican conversion machine.

With love we’ll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I’ll tell you why

Why?

Probably paid for by US taxpayers, need to weed them out.

Call it a Democrat-to-Republican conversion machine.

Short term effect only.

Soon as the head stops spinning, they need more free stuff...

I believe I'll pass, but seems at least a few or the original German engineers are still at NASA.

Would be good money for a university student, if the test is conducted May-august
