It may be too late, but Pepsi have come forward with $34 million to help Nsync’s Lance Bass get into space. The boy band star’s hopes to board the next Russian space mission to the international space station were scuppered when the star’s backers failed to stump up the required cash in time. Now Pepsi are putting up the cash required in return for the star’s involvement in an advertising campaign back on earth. But a NASA spokesperson recently said that any last minute financial deal may be too late because Bass has missed crucial training time – whether the Russian Space Agency let him back into the mission remains to be seen.
