NASA Will Pay You 12 Lakh To Stay In Bed And Sleep

This test is to find a way to help astronauts remain healthy in space and to develop an antigravity device

NASA has just announced one of the best deals ever, which does not require you to know rocket science. It will pay you to go to sleep for at least 2 months. This project is a joint effort of NASA and the ESA (European Space Agency) to conduct research on how people sleep in humanmade gravity.

Their test subjects include 12 male and 12 female with age between 24 and 55. They will have to participate for two months, and after the project is done, they will be paid around Rs 12.81 lakh.

During the time of the test, the 24 subjects are not allowed to make any physical or mental effort, and scientist will conduct studies on their balance, how strong their muscles are, and their cardiovascular function. And 12 of them will be put in a room with no gravity while the rest remain outside.

Experts think that by comparing the states of the two groups, they will able to find valuable data that can support astronauts with their missions in space.

This study could help astronauts stay healthy 

Similar studies have been conducted on the ISS, but this research is still needed to answer some specific questions that have been troubling scientist.

Space is a totally different environment to Earth, so when astronauts have been in there for a long time, their muscles might swell, which requires them to work out much more than when they are on Earth. Another more severe consequence is the bones might become less dense, which can make them more vulnerable. Last but not least, the mental problems astronauts must endure by being confined in a small room with the same faces for a long time.

If the study yields good results, astronauts might have a chance to improve their health and NASA can work on some kind of an antigravity machine for the ISS or even probes on missions to Mars.
