Lance Bass to Continue to Plague Earth's Surface

thepooleboy writes "Looks like N'Sync member Lance Bass is NOT going to be shot into space! Yahoo News reports that Rosaviakosmos has not begun talks with Bass or MirCorp. "[Bass' flight] is just an advertising stunt, I can promise you," Spokesman Sergei Gorbunov said. "This is better advertising than he could ever pay for." Good! I'm glad that no cheezy teen pop videos will be staged on the ISS. At least not in the near future..."

  1. people worth sending into space. by Alien54 · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Personally, I think that there people that it would be worth sending into space.

    Although there is the question of who should we send to stay, and who gets to come back. Sending certain overly rich folks such as Bill Gates or Michael Jackson to space to stay only invites comparison to certain old Justin Powers tv episodes (from the series that never existed, yet)

    Any nominations for people to send to space and leave there? People to send to space and return for the benefit of mankind?
