What in the fuck kind of spending habits do you have? I've got 1000 dollars in spending money and I have no idea what the hell to do with it all.

9k per month is like 3 times my paycheck what the fuck do you buy?
Where do I sign up
2 months? that looks
really bad
seems like by now they would have lots of data about the effects of microgravity on the human body, i mean they are going for a 16 month expedition to the space station at some point
it's like grandpa joe from willy wonka
do you get to jerk off or will nasa do that for you
[QUOTE=SKEEA;42276734]Fuck that, I would like to keep my level of physical fitness thank you.[/QUOTE]
I could spend that 18k on a pretty rad home gym after
would I be allowed to do situps and pushups on the mattress, or is that not allowed?
[QUOTE=MuTAnT;42277217]For you gents that have spent more than 3 days in hospital before, you'll get how shit this would be.[/QUOTE]
To be fair, when actually in a hospital you're not getting paid more than some people make in a year.
Momma told me I would never be anyone in my life by sleeping the whole day.
IN YOUR FACE.
[QUOTE=ionuttzu;42277256]70 DAYS?! That's fucking crazy goddamn.
I had to stay 4 days on a bed in rehab after surgery once and I was SICK of it by the time I was transferred back to my room and was given permission to move again. Even with video games, internet and whatever else, 70 days is way, WAY too much.
IMO that many days classifies in starting to go crazy-tier[/QUOTE]
i would do this if i had access to a laptop with internet, and i've been in a hospital for 60+ days twice.
i guess i'm crazy :v:
[QUOTE=ewitwins;42277241]Question: How are they going to handle toilet-time, or bed-sores, or the multitude of problems that will arise from something like this [b]far[/b] before the 70-day time-period is over?[/QUOTE]
you're exaggerating, you don't always get bedsores, nor you get them that easily.

Yeah. I bet I could do it if I really wanted to, had a bunch of stuff to read and decent internet access. It would suck, but it's 18,000 bucks. That's quite a chunk of change, all things considered.
I would keep fit by masterbating... like I do now.
So, are you allowed to exercise from a laying down position through out this?
Are you allowed to move in the bed, because you can just do motions while laying to not have your limbs fall off

Probably not considering the study is basically how it affects your body to be in this state
[QUOTE=Zombie man70;42279322]I would keep fit by masterbating... like I do now.[/QUOTE]
it says no physical activities unless you are being tested also you are probably monitored 24/7
essentially 70days no wanking
still up for the job
as long as I'd get a fuckload of vidya games to play, sure
I would only do $1,800 for 7 days straight. Anything over 7 days is too much for me.
I know the study would only be effective if I went the whole 70 days, but I would totally do a 7 day one.
The idea of it horrifies me
Do you get docked pay if your grandchild finds a golden ticket?
To be honest they probably won't complete the experiment. The time frame is just too long, no one will make it.
After being bed ridden with illness for the better part of 2 weeks I can confirm that this blows 70 days would honestly make you want to kill yourself.

I've spent upwards of 2 weeks in a hospital. Even with the ability to get up, walk around, go to the bathroom, and shower, it gets fucking uncomfortable after the first few days. I can't imagine 70 days of that without even being allowed to get out of the bed and at least stretch your legs for 5 minutes.
I spent four months bedridden because of hip surgery. It was complete shit.
Having spent 30 days in a hospital bed and having to learn to walk again because of it this would be a hell I would not want to live in.
The real challenge is not fapping for 70 days.
Needs to have some damn good ass support otherwise its going to be a long two months
