Lance: I'm Ready For Space

Lance Bass is physically ready to go to space - even though the Russian Space Agency say they have no plans to fly him there.

Bass is hoping to fly to the International Space Station on a Russian rocket later this year, despite the Agency's declaration on Wednesday, May 29th, that they've "had no contacts whatsoever" with the popstar.

At a news conference in Moscow on May 31st, the singer said, "I'm pretty confident we will be able to pull this off. I know physically I can do this."

Earlier this week the star underwent medical tests at the city's Institute of Bio-Medical Problems, which have since declared Bass is fit and healthy enough to fly.

However the Russian Space Agency have pointed out "anyone has the right to undergo tests in the Institute of Biomedical Problems. But that doesn't mean that such person is considered to be a candidate for space flight."
