NASA are to pay volunteers $17,000 to lie in bed for three months.
The space company wants people to do nothing to simulate some of the effects of zero gravity.
As well as staying in bed and doing nothing, volunteers will also have astronauts visit them.
The job advert said: "In order to study a person as if they were in space without gravity, NASA scientists are paying subjects $17,000 to stay in bed for 90 straight days. The study will follow the Bed Rest Project standard model and be conducted at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. Participants will live in a special research unit for the entire study and be fed a carefully controlled diet."
