I would SO do that NASA thing if I could pass the Air Force medical examination standards, which I seriously doubt.
I think that pen is designed to be forgotten in your bag and confiscated by airport security.
Pen is coming up unavailable.
I had a procedure done on my back for a herniated disk and had to lie on my back except for a few minutes a day for a week. Surprisingly, once I was not in a large amount of pain (without painkillers - I was prescribed percocet but found I out was allergic and had to go without because I clearly couldn't go get a new script) - it was torture, and there is no amount of money that would talk me into doing it again for a week let alone 90 days.
A friend of mine used to do the NASA microgravity test every few years back when they held it at NASA-Ames in Mountain View. He thought of it as a quasi-vacation, except for the parts when the researchers drilled into his femur for before/after bone density samples (!).
@Rectilinear Propagation:
If you calculate it out you only get 7.87 an hour GROSS! (Not sure maybe this is tax free)
90 days X 24 hours = 2160 hours
17,000/2160=$7.87
Not to mention you will spend the next 30 days+ rehabilitating yourself
from muscle loss.
Seems to me they should make it a joint study with an intelligence agency. They could offer a lot more money and the intelligence agency would be able to see how effective it is as a means of torture, since I'm pretty sure after a week or two it would be.
@uberbitter: lol what? wrong post.
Damn you Woot!, I want a damn Roomba.
