“I’m a trained astronaut, and it’s my time to go”, Lance Bass told GateCrasher in regards to his still burning desire to go to space. The former boy band star first tried to leave Earth in 2002, when he trained with Russian cosmonauts. He was unable to come up with the $20 million they wanted, and his mission was never completed. Lance still hasn’t abandoned the dream though. Not even real astronauts are going into space anymore, Lance! Space is like United Colors of Benetton, nobody goes there anymore.
I hope that Lance sleeps in a bed made out to look like a rocket, in special moon jammies, with a spaghetti pot over his head as a helmet, and eats freeze dried food in preparation for the great day that NASA is so broke they’ll sidestep their ethical obligations and let him go.
How weird! Just the other day while watching “Moon” I was wondering about the status of Lance’s space preparation. Thank goodness there are still people in this world who care about him enough to update the rest of us. Perhaps someone should set up a “Send Lance to Space” fund. I mean, it’s not like there are better uses for our spending money. After all, what could be more important than sending a bygone heart-throb (my heart stopped throbbing when his sexuality was confirmed. Lost cause) on a space-venture that has nothing to do with furthering the scientific community or our understanding of the universe?
Do you think he watches Gattaca every night before falling asleep?
