Lance Bass is About to Get His Day in Space

Singer Lance Bass from the band 'N Sync has moved significantly closer to getting a trip to visit the International Space Station. Bass has been approved for flight by Russian doctors, so if he gets his training completed, he could launch to the station on board a Soyuz spacecraft sometime in the autumn. It's believed that Bass has already secured the estimated $20 million cost from several sponsors, including RadioShack Corporation.
