Lay Around on Your Astronaut - a podcast by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

NASA is conducting a study about the long-term effects of weightlessness by asking applicants to stay completely horizontal for 70 days.

Anthony and Jeff wonder if they could stand it, and why NASA is holding out on horizontal showering technology for everyone.
