NASA Test

      Will this be easy or will this be hard? NASA is paying volunteers $18k to lie in bed for 70 days. While you are on bed rest you are not a loud to get up for any reason.  They are running two different tests. One is you have to lie in bed at a six degree downward angel. The other test has to do different kinds of aerobics while in bed. They are going to have certain things to bath them and let them go to the bathroom while still lying in the bed. Some may think this is easy to lie in bed and not do anything but there are side affects to this. You would lose muscle and your bone density would start to deteriorate. It would take a little bit of time after this time for you to regain your muscle back. They are doing this test to see how they could make the astronauts time better in space so that they are comfortable.
