    Can't imagine astronauts having it much better/worse. Maybe you can find an astronaut's work contract?

    astronauts (in the US) are salaried positions well over $100k a year, it is trivially easy to do what OP is asking for a salaried worker but not at the low low rates OP is aiming for

      No, which makes my argument that they aren't like convicts even stronger.

        According to the US, they're both convicts and totally-not-slaves at the same time. 🤢
