Well, he may not have gone up in space, but his brain sure did. Seriously, what is this guy's fixation with this? Give up!


BASS STILL HOPES FOR SPACE

'N Sync singer Lance Bass is still hoping to visit space, and he's trying to inspire children to follow his dreams.

Last year the pop hunk was all set to be the youngest person in space, even following a rigorous training program with NASA. But he had to drop the idea after failing to raise the required $20 million fare.

However, Bass still has high hopes, and is now helping to promote the idea of space travel to a new generation.

On Wednesday, he visited Ortiz Middle School in Houston, Texas, as part of World Space Week, which celebrates the October 4, 1957, launch of Russia's Sputnik 1, the first human-made satellite, and the October 10, 1967, ratification of an international treaty ruling peaceful use of space.

Bass told the 40 assembled students, "Just stick with math and science and dream big.

"The training is very difficult, very physical. There is also a lot of psychological training."

When asked by one student whether he was worried about being abducted by aliens, he replied, "I'm not scared of any aliens. If there are aliens, I think they'll be friendly."

What's wrong with that? The man dreams of going to space, let him dream and try and reach his goal. That is like asking anyone who has a dream to just give up.

Do you know the whole story here? Like how he spends MONTHS in intense physical training and then couldn't pay for the trip? And how now he probably spends all of his time obsessing about it?

He can have dreams. That's a great thing. But there's a point when your dreams have to come...down to earth, so to speak.

His dream only was apparent when he made some money. This bastard thinks he can do whatever he wants now, just because he's a millionaire. To dream is to have money.

I think Dennis Miller said it best:


"Put the wallet away Lance baby, this one's on me."








I'll pay more if he takes Timberlake with him and makes it a one way trip.;)

Well, here we go, bashing Lance because he's a member of *Nsync.

I'm not gonna do that, because Lance and his band do a lot of charity work and public services and I think he's being misjudged. Comparing him to Michael Jackson (who obviously has some serious personal crises) isn't fair either.

My argument is this: If he HAD gone up last year and made scientific advancements on the trip, would we all still be discrediting him? More power to you, Lance. You've got the right stuff.

I think it's great!

They should send more celebrities into space.

The longer they're out there, the better! Especially with no cameras or satelite contact!

He's already on fuckin' Jupiter for all I'm concerned.

Did the rest of NSYNC fall off the map other than Timberlake, or what?

You know the rest of them are now sitting around watching the Anna Nicole show, while they eat their Salisbury Steak TV dinners, talking about how they could get back on the map if only they could find a way to knock up Christina Aguilera.

Wait...I'm having a vision..
A vision of another boyband called The New Kids On The Block that broke up in 1992 and each member tried to go 'solo' hoping that they would reach success.
There must be a connection...

Hope he does. Next they should send Bennifer and Michael Jackson up there.
