PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
HASS
Bass wins NASA endorsement
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
— 'N Sync singer Lance Bass
won the endorsement of
NASA and other space agen
cies Tuesday in his bid to fly to
the international space station
this fall.
The 23-year-old boy-band
member got the news while
training at Johnson Space
Center in Houston.
All that remains in his way is a financial agree
ment with the Russian space program; both sides
have been haggling over the deal for months.
A round-trip ticket to the space station on a
Russian spacecraft costs as much as $20 million.
In July, the Russian Space Agency submitted
Bass' name for one of three seats on a rocket
scheduled to blast off from Kazakhstan on Oct.
28. A panel representing NASA and the space
agencies of Russia, Japan, Europe and Canada
signed off Tuesday on Bass' participation after
weeks of telephone conferences to discuss his
background and qualifications.
"They've agreed that Mr. Bass meets the criteria
and is suitable as a crew member," said NASA
spokeswoman Debra Rahn.
The recommendation has been forwarded to a
board of high-ranking space agency officials who
will review Bass' candidacy and issue a final ruling
in September, Rahn said.
Bass would be the world's third paying space
tourist and the youngest person ever in space.

thousands of people who died."
On assignments, Franklin himself someti

"No one had to convince me of the power
