NASA提供躺着挣钱的工作 70天可获上万美元
Lying in bed in the name of science may sound like a dream job, but when you're volunteering to do that for NASA, there's inevitably going to be a catch. The space agency's latest bed rest study is meant to investigate the effects of fluid pressure on the eyes and optic nerves of astronauts. To do that, participants must spend 30 days not getting up from a bed. 12 volunteers will be spending a solid month in large beds that are tilted downwards at a six-degree angle, and they must remain in that position the whole time. No getting up to pee or shower. No sitting upright to have their meals. And in addition to the posture, the participants will also be breathing air that's much higher in carbon dioxide - 0.5% as opposed to the mere 0.04% we get with our normal everyday Earth air. The bedrest marathon will take place at German Space Agency's state of the art facility: envihab, where participants will be spending time in their specially equipped bedrooms with no visitors allowed on site. |
