Boy-band member bids on space trip
Lance Bass, a member of the singing group 'N Sync, is negotiating to travel on a Russian rocket to the International Space Station in November.
Bass, 22, would be just the third civilian to buy a trip on a space ship. California investment banker Dennis Tito reportedly paid $20 million U.S. to visit the space station last year. South African tycoon Mark Shuttleworth reportedly paid the same for his upcoming flight in April.
Bass's trip still requires the approval of the Russian space agency and its partners - the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and Europe - in the space station program.
A Los Angeles TV production company is one of several corporations offering to sponsor the singer's flight. It hopes to make a TV special about the trip.
The head of Russia's space program has said his agency is looking at a number of civilian candidates for the next space station visit. "The earnings provide serious support for the industry, the cosmonauts' training center and mission control," Yuri Koptev said Wednesday.
Bass attended space camp near Titusville, Fla., when he was 12. He said Wednesday that he would have to undergo five or six months of training at Star City, the space training center outside Moscow, before blasting off.
That training for the mission could interfere with Bass's day job. 'N Sync is scheduled to begin its next concert tour on March 3.

20 million to meet L. ron hubbard? That sounds pretty fair to me...you know they supposedly have him secretly living in that space station with a harem of sheeps and other barnyard delights... :)

haha, yeah I heard about that... what was the heading they used on Muchmoremusic, Basst Off or something... just the person we need to make first contact with another intelligent life form right... "Hey, we're from Earth, and you want to hear some of Earth's music?" They'd run away screaming...

Maybe It'll turn out apallo 13ish without the happy ending. And at least it's 5 or 6 months of traing time that they wont be releasing new "music" for.
Ahhm, who am I kidding, they will release a cosmopop double CD and have it played on every station.

Hahaha LOL...
I read somewhere else about this N'Sync guy that he might actually perform (as in sing) possibly live on TV if he gets to go up there.
This shit reminds me of that old guy from the movie 'Contact' who was living up there...

I can give you a cheque....it'll bounce though.
CAn you imagine opening the hatch and there's a circle of rhubear people peering at you on the other side, that'd be so scary.

I have always had some idea that if aliens come to earth, and they meet the americans. The aliens demand to hear earth music, and then put some shitty pop band on that "everyone on earth just loves". Then, the aliens rain firey death upon us!
Imagin if the spacestation explodes, and the N' sync boy and the camera crew survive, and the whole world watches the pair explode in the cold of space! Muhahahahaha!

N´Sync in space? Carl Sagan always told only inteligente and hard working people could travel into space! Like all the rest money DOES matter!
hope they nauseate and vomit in front of the camera and all the folks at earth and teen chicks see their vomit flying and then the ship would get all dirty and then a short-circuit would happen and the space-ship would explode and then the anti-explosion camera would recorde their little members and blood traveling in space and stuff.
