'You know, the space madness starts to kick in.'
Former NSYNC member Lance Bass grew up dreaming of becoming an astronaut and was planning on becoming an engineer — until a call from Justin Timberlake launched him on a very different trajectory, that is.
He spent that summer in Star City, Russia, training to become a cosmonaut — and possibly the youngest astronaut in the world, at the age of just 23. "Space training is quite the ride, from the centrifuge to parabolic flights to learning astrophysics and a different language," he said.During his time in Star City, Bass was immersed in the lore of the Soviet Union's space program, hearing the many tales of icons like Yuri Gagarin, the cosmonaut who became the first person to orbit the Earth in 1961.
