NASA Needs You to Study Space

Video Transcript:

Imagine getting $19,000 for just lying in bed. Well, it's possible. NASA is looking for 24 volunteers who want to spend two months in bed. Participants who do everything in a reclined position, including each shower and exercise. NASA wants to see exactly how bodies change in a weightless environment like living in space. Some of the participants will spend time in a centrifuge like an anti-gravity chamber, while others won't move at all. So a shower while lying down. They must have it all figured out. Hi. After North Scott Kelly says it was easier to adjust to life in space for nearly a year, than to get used to gravity again back on Earth. He lived on the International Space Station for 340 days. He lived on the International Space Station for 340 days. He lived on the International Space Station for 340 days. NASA continues testing him to learn how extended space travel impacts the human body. Kelly posted Twitter video Monday writing, Gravity gets you down. He spoke with Manuel Borcas, who is inside the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Manuel, good morning. Good morning. This is where Scott Kelly trained for that year in space. It is a mock-up of the International Space Station. Good morning. This is where Scott Kelly trained for that year in space. It is a mock-up of the International Space Station. It's also where we spoke with him about the mission and how he's feeling one week after his return to Earth. He seemed to be walking a little funny. That's the effects of this, right? Yeah, my legs are not feeling good. Astronaut Scott Kelly is still getting used to walking on Earth again. The soreness is just one of the effects of spending nearly a year in zero gravity. My legs are a little swollen still from the fluid that shifts up to our heads and in space gets now pushed back down into my legs. Your body has been through some stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And it's currently still going through. I'll show you my legs later when the cameras get turned off. Okay. I'll show you my legs later when the cameras get turned off. I'll show you my legs later when the cameras get turned off.
