All that publicity, all that training, and the former Space Camp graduate isn't going to be able to pay his way into space after all.

Russian space officials previously indicated that a cargo container weighing the same as Bass would replace the singer once the deal was off

Funny...the other members of 'N Sync consider Lance to be nothing more than a cargo container, too...

Just before getting the proverbial Russia boot out the door, Lance made several promises about what would and would not happen while he was on the International Space Station Alpha. For one thing, he would actually "sing in space".

But as everybody knows....in space, no one can hear you sing

OK, I'm sorry, I couldn't resist that one.

"The singer also set a space program record for the most frequent use of the word "amazing" -- 41 times, by NASA's count"

No indication of the record-setting number of times he used the word "awesome", tho'...

"He plans to pull out the guitar on the space station and perhaps do some jamming."

Guitar? Um...I thought all he could do was high-impact aerobics and lip-syncing...?

"But there will be no concerts or record-cutting"

Comment #1: no kidding, pre-teens can't scream in space...
Comment #2: Number one in the charts...Lance Bass and the Alpha Seven!!!

"He's not sure whether he'll write a song in space or about space once he's back.

"Of course, I'll be inspired," he said. "No promises. But I'm pretty sure there will definitely be something in my head."

Not if space sucks all the air out of his head first...
