NASA Will Pay You $19,000 to Stay in Bed -- and be Spun in a Centrifuge:
Like to lounge in bed? We might have your dream job.
NASA and the European Space Agency will pay you $19,000 to lie in bed for two months. Two months! That's a lot of Netflix.
The prolonged bed rest is part of a study that launched this week into the effects of weightlessness on the human body. Phase 2 will be conducted by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) from September through December in Cologne, Germany.
"We are interested in how to maintain the health and performance of man -- in space and on Earth," reads a translated DLR website for the project. "Especially in extreme conditions, such as in weightlessness in space, this is a challenge." If astronauts are to live for long periods in space, or on the moon and Mars, science needs effective measures to counteract bone and muscle atrophy.
For the next phase of the Agbresa (Artificial Gravity Bed Rest Study), the DLR seeks 12 men and 12 women who will spend their days and nights in beds angled downward by 6 degrees, propped up with their feet at an incline above their heads, with one shoulder touching the mattress at all times. This position reduces blood flow to the extremities, like astronauts in space experience.
[...] Not everyone qualifies though. Participants are required to speak German and be between 24 and 55 and healthy. In addition to the 60 days required for bed rest, participants will stay an additional 29 days for acclimation and supervised recovery involving stretching, massage and physiotherapy.
When lying down on the job is a good thing.

Who's to explain what happens to you during those two months. Lose a limb, get a stroke, internal organs lost... But we know the U.S murders its own citizens (and those of other countries) on a regular basis, so permanently harming a few people is well within their everyday business.
Also, no bathing or washing for two months. Looks like khazar jews would qualify for this job without even telling about their holohoax. Let us give them a real one.

Low effort Jew trolling.
At first I though this might have been an ethanol-fueled comment, but his trolling has a much higher quality.
How about in the future, leave the Jew trolling to him? He's better at it.

But how many of them still speak German?

Exactly! Why would NASA sponsor this unless they're planning to freeze-dry a few 12-packs of ubermensch and send them out into the stars to start the fourth reich?
