I suspect they are paid commensurate to the risk. And it's 7 days on, two years off, isn't it, approximately??
But I agree - It's some job they do! Just read about cosmic rays causing flashes inside their eyeballs! Only Buzz and Neil, who weren't going to fly again, admitted to them - the rest thought they'd be grounded on a medical condition. By Apollo 16, it was a true experiment - close your eyes and see if you see flashes!
