Russia's space agency has scrapped 'N Sync singer Lance Bass's plans to join an October space mission after the U.S. pop star failed to meet payment deadlines, an agency spokesman said.

Too crude, I would have just ejected him into space "OOPS"

Hey, I recently met one of the other members of N'Sync while on vacation. He was kind of a prick, but everyone was fawning all over him just because of his fame. As far as I'm concerned, you could eject all of them into space.

I would love to go up into space - pity that I don't have a spare $20 m.

But I heard on the news today that Lance's agent had told the Husky Ruskies that the check was "in the mail". So they may still get a chance to eject him out the rubbish shute.
