Anyone hear of this?!! Nsync's Lance Bass is going into space, heres the article i read:
On Wednesday morning it was reported that 'N Sync wannabe astronaut, Lance Bass, 23, was ready, willing and, most importantly, able to zoom into space on a Russian rocket, reported Reuters. But by Wednesday afternoon, reported the Associated Press, the Russians were saying nyet so fast. "The Russian Aerospace Agency has had no contacts whatsoever with Mr. Bass," agency spokesman Konstantin Kreidenko told the news service. "We have received no requests from either him or his representatives, not to speak about signing any contracts." Through David Krieff, a producer seeking financial backing for Bass's purported trip (which carries a $20 million fee), it was said that Bass recently underwent an unexplained surgical procedure to correct an unexplained heart irregularity but had been informally pronounced physically fit enough to make the journey. "He's in top physical condition, top mental condition," Krieff said from Los Angeles, according to Reuters. Krieff went on to say that next week Bass was due to commence a nearly six-month flight training program at the cosmonaut center in Russia's Star City. But according to Kreidenko: "Anyone has the right to undergo tests in the Institute of Biomedical Problems. But that doesn't mean that such person is considered to be a candidate for space flight." Furthermore, the clock is ticking on who will get to go, given the preparation time involved. The AP, saying that it appears no space tourist will join the trip, notes that Bass is scheduled to hold a press conference later this week to clarify his intentions.

yeah, they should use that spare seat on another real astronaut to try and accomplish something in space instead of on that Lance fag. All it proves is that in our society, all people apparently aren't equal since money, above all else, is the deciding factor in every situation. Fuck the world.

Oh my god, is that for real? I know that Dennis Tito guy paid for a seat on some Russian shuttle into space, and that was insane... and now they're taking a POP star up there?
I wonder how many years it will be before the general public can get up there... imagine seeing the earth from space, I'd piss myself.

Im willing to bet he doesnt go, because I heard that the Russians havent even talked to him about it yet and didnt want someone like him to go.

according to a PR on some music website, the Russian Space Agency has denied having any idea he wanted to go up, and have no paper work or money to prove that his intentions are real.
Been around for a while that his ass wanted to go into space, seems tons of pussy, infinite pools of money and fame aren't enough for Mr. Bass.
