NASA's Space Travel Study
Many people wish that they could make money in their sleep. It has always been a dream in everyone's mind. Luckily, NASA has created a study in which volunteers will be paid to lie in a bed, which is tilted at a 6 degree angle. Lying down for a total of 70 days, volunteers of this study can expect to earn up to $18,000. NASA developed this study in order to test and understand the conditions that astronaut may experience during space travel. By scrutinizing the physical changes in this study, scientists can craft methods of space travel that will allow astronauts to maintain their physical health without much struggle. Unfortunately, this study has its own risks that will most likely damage a volunteer's physcial health. Risks include loss in muscle strength, bone density, and respiratory capacity. The author of this article, Michelle Castillo, is currently an associate producer at CBS News. Having written for The Los Angeles Times, The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard.com, City Arts, MSNBC, and other corporations, Castillo demonstrates that she is a very experienced journalist. Furthermore, she has also received her Masters of Science of Journalism from Columbia University. Castillo, showing her strong interest in science, wrote this article in order to inform the public, who is the audience, of the study NASA is conducting. Additionally, she notifies people that NASA is on the lookout for potential subjects for its study. In order to successfully portray her message, Castillo uses dialogue and quotes from scientists running NASA's study. By quoting the senior scientist Dr. Roni Cromwell, Castillo is able to appeal to logos because Cromwell is able to amplify the message she is trying to send to her audience. Throughout the entire article, one fact or another was always stated, which directly shows that Castillo wants everyone to know about this study. Overall, Castillo was able to successfully inform the public of NASA's study because of her consistent appeal to logos.
