Sleeping may earn you $10 per hr

Washington, August 2 (ANI): It's no more necessary to get up early in the morning and get ready for work, for NASA is paying people just to sleep.

"It's very relaxing at times. This is probably the most I've sat still in 10 years," foxnews.com quoted Heather Archuletta, a study participant, as saying. (ANI)

NASA's Flight Analog Research Unit says one way to recreate such conditions on the ground is for test participants to lie down with head slightly tilted back for 90 days.

They spend three months lying down, and the preparation and rehabilitation take up another month.

After NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander makes it nerve-wracking descent through the Martian atmosphere on Sunday and hopefully makes a safe landing on the surface of the red planet, mission scientists will not only be waiting with bated breath for the first beeps of radio signals from the craft, but also the first images it will send.


I had the opportunity yesterday to tour the Multimission Image Processing Lab (MIPL, pronounced "mipple") at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which will be responsible for processing those images and sending them to both the Phoenix science team at the University of Arizona and to the public.
