Have you ever dreamed of your job simply being able to stay in bed all day? Lucky for you, NASA is looking for 24 volunteers to stay in bed for 60 days and get this, you’ll get paid $19,000. You will shower, eat, and get dressed while laying down. Nasa is using this to research the body changes in weightlessness. They will use the research to lessen the negative effects of weightlessness on astronauts. The volunteers will live in a single room but will be divided into groups. One group will be rotated around in a centrifuge, something like a artificial gravity chamber, “which will force blood back into their extremities” reports ABC news. The second group won't be moved. Someone,Janja, has participated in the study and said that it was overall an amazing experience, she didn’t get bored, and time flew by.

1. Do you think you would be able to lie in bed for 2 months straight and still have to do everyday activities for $19,000?
I think I would be okay with it because you're still able to move and do everyday tasks even though it will probably not be the easiest, but in the end you're getting paid
2. What do you think would be the hardest part about this experiment?
I think the hardest part would be showering because like your laying down so I don't get that or being able to just stay in bed for 2 months straight because I feel like I would become overwhelmingly bored.

Good job overall Chloe! Be sure to capitalize key words in your title. I also think you could have replied back a few more times.
I would definatly do it because you'd still be able to move around and you can get paid for virtually doing your normal routine. The hardest part for me would be doing the everyday tasks that involve lots of motion as in walking because you have to be in bed.
I dont think I would be able to do it becuse I am always fidgeting and moving, I cant stay still or be in the same spot for a while. I think not being able to get out of bed for that long of time.
I don't think it's possible for me to sit down for more than 2 minutes at a time, so 2 months would be too much. i think it would be laying down in general, it may be easy for the first few days but terrible for the rest of the weeks. Probably staying clean too.
I think that having that as a job would be cool, but i don't think I could do that. I like laying down and sleeping as much as the next person, but I wouldn't be able to lay down and do nothing for 2 months. I think the hardest part would be the strain on your body of being weightless for two months, and then suddenly having all of the weight back in 1 day at the end of the 2 months.
1) Yes I could really see myself doing this. Even if somedays I wouldn't really feel like it, I would still do it because I would be getting paid. I think that this would be an easy way to make money.
2) I also believe that it would also be the hardest. I think that eventually you would really get bored with all the stuff and maybe somedays you might want to quit. I think that it would still be an easy job.
I think it would be an interesting experience and if I had the chance to do it I would definetly try. I feel like it would all be difficult, especially the showering part. I don't get how you could lay in a bed for two months and not get extremely bored. I would definetly try this if I got the chance.
1. I think it would not be that hard to do and it would just be like everyday life. I would definitly do it for $19,000
2. I think just laying in bed would be the hardest part. I would like to get up and move around but I doubt that would happen.
I somewhat agree because you are just laying down so your getting paid alot for something you usually do but its for quite a bit of time and you can't get up at all like you normally would, but for the money I would consider it. i agree, I like to get up and move so laying down for 2 months straight would not be very easy.
No because I would be bored and I'm an athlete and I hope to always stay fit.
Not being able to move from the bed to take a shower or go to the bathroom.
