If not, then this study would not be able to simulate a zero gravity enviroment on the humen body.  If I am wronge, I stand corrected.  Also, do the astronauts not have some form of exercise equiptment?  To properly simulate bone and muscle loss, the participant would also have use of elastic bands to work the legs and arms.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kpilker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 4th 2009 8:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[Are you seriously that f*cking stupid???

What I mean is does the body rely only on gravity to move blood in the body?  I do relize that gravity does have an effect on the flow of blood.  Also when I think about it, the participant would also be at risk for developing bed sores and clots.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KPILKER]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 6th 2009 1:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[Leave it to NASA..With their inlimited supply of money!  When this country is in the worst financial state in decades.  Yet NO ONE questions what NASA spends on anything!  Yes, lets just keep on with endless tests, trips, etc.  When you have endless funds, you just keep finding things to spend the money on.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Linda Varon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2009 9:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[In response to Linda, there are pages upon pages of constantly updated information regarding NASA budgeting. They do not have access to an unlimited or endless flow of money. They post all budgeting information on their main website, taking maybe 2 minutes to load. All budgets are figured in advance and there are new plans listed under "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009." There are quite a few programs that NASA runs, with several thousand employees, and all this is information that is posted online. You can also purchase a copy of their current workforce online.<br><br><br>Oh, NASA also has jobs listed on usajobs.gov ... there are many highly educated jobs listed. Remember that there are many research programs funded by NASA that brings into society crucial information about medicine, science, and the environment. :)<br><br>I'm not employed by NASA... I'm just a NASA fan :) If you are ever curious about anything, I am more than happy to help look things up.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Birdy256]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 6th 2009 12:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[NASA has about 535 people who are always cutting their evershrinking budget and doing nothing to help. they are called Congress, and they have an outlook just like you- stupid.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[logicrulesall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 6th 2009 7:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[One thing to concider is the belief that the heart Does Not 'Pump' the blood<br>in the body. When you breathe in and exhale out, that creates a vacum,<br>which in turn pumps your blood. All the heart does is regulate it, so it's<br>steady depending on the activity or in rest. You better believe that gravity<br>has alot to do with that. Trying out to be a 'pillownaut' for science sounds<br>more costly to the old bod in the long run. I guess the money you make will<br>help with medical bills to get your body back in shape if it doesn't kill ya.<br>They need to factor in SOME form of exercise, even in tight spaces. Really<br>loved the scene in the flick 2001 Space Odyssey, when our hero is running<br>inside the cylander-like space station for exercise. We're behind in that race...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BEEZZER]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2009 9:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[sign me up , send me an app .lol]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jeffrey_p_20002000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 5th 2009 11:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NASA Seeks 'Pillownauts' for Micro-Gravity Study]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/06/04/nasa-seeks-pillownauts-for-micro-gravity-study/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sounds like a fantastic job to me, after 34 years working in legal. I am retired now, and nothing would please me more than just lying around, not doing anything at all except watching movies!  I would keep my legs in shape with my nervous leg syndrome.  LOL  No splinters to get into my legs or feet while I am lying down, so no infections for my diabetes to worry about.  No problems at all except the potty.  I can't potty in a bed!  Oh, well.  I guess it really is not for me after all.
