Lance Bass Space Travel

James Lance Bass is a singer, choreographer, actor, and film and television producer from the United States. He was born in Mississippi and rose to prominence as a singer for NSYNC, an American boy band. Bass has worked in film and television as a result of NSYNC’s fame.

When Bass was eight years old, his grandfather took him to observe his first rocket launch, and he fell in love with space. After that, Bass went to space camp and wanted to study space engineering to become an astronaut. Unfortunately, life happens when you’re too preoccupied with making plans. As a result, he became a well-known pop star.

Bass achieved cosmonaut certification after several months of training and then proceeded to Houston’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) for astronaut training. On October 30, 2002, he was supposed to launch into orbit on the Soyuz TMA-1 mission. Bass was rejected from the program, and Russian cosmonauts Yury Lonchakov, Sergei Zalyotin, and Belgian Frank De Winne took his position on the flight. Let’s get into some of the thoughts of Lance Bass, shall we?
