Yeah, send them all up there, change the name to 'N Orbit, and let the Russians keep them.
But how will he make any more of his quality movies all the way up there?
eh; eccentric rich people spending gross amounts of money on mental frontier experiences are the major way that the cutting edge whittles down to the norm.
think of it like this; he’s out twenty million dollars, and you’re one step closer to vacationing in space. huzzah!
(libertarian++ comment removed due to forethought and sleep deprivation. libertarian+ comment remains.)
If they have trouble on re-entry, maybe they’ll change the name to 'N Cinerate.
Well, we can hope, can’t we?
Of course like all new things on the market I think I’ll wait until the hype dies down and prices become a little more affordlbe, before I give it some thought. Anyone has a couple o’ mil to burn on the Russians?
Come on, you guys. You’re all being really 'N Sensitive.
Well they started by being 'N Sipid
I have to N’sist that you stop this N’sanity right now!
You know, just a few years ago I polled a lot of my friends and said “if you had the money, would you go into space” and a ton of them said “in a second” and now, all of the sudden we spew vitriol at a kid who has the money and is going into space.
I will never ever ever understand this constant 'N Sync bashing. There is SO much other shit in the world to get worked up about.
I hope he has a great time.

I am no fan of N’Sync, but I am impressed with Lance bass for wanting to go into space. I know I would if I had the money and the clout to get a berth. This is great for a couple of reasons.
One, it might get some kids who otherwise might not care into the sciences. If some little N’Sync fan decides to bone up on her math and science (or her singing skills) and choose a career in physics and engineering, I’m all for it.
Second, we need to go back into space. Back in the 1960s, we put a man on the moon. Today, the infrastructure for exploiting the resources of space is lacking, due to public indifference and political expedience. We need to Not only is space research and exploration imnportant for its own sake, but also for the wealth of incidental products, like CATscans and Goretex that were developed out of the quest to reach the moon.
Moreover, there is another, more long-term reason to get off this rock:
Me neither. Not when their’s still so much Britney bashing to be done.
or how about just listening to the music you like and leaving everyone else alone. I hate Korn, but you don’t see me wishing they WOULD INCINERATE in OUTER SPACE. Jesus christ.

Well, I’m not an NSYNC fan, but my sister is.
AND, I know for a fact that NSYNC ARE fans of MST3K. That aleast gets them a few cool points. (Hello, they even do a mock up with Tom Servo at concerts!)
Come on, jarbabyj, even CNN couldn’t resist making stupid puns. You make us sound… 'N Human or something.

Well…I guess maybe I’m just tired of it. Dennis Miller, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, all of them have expressed a great interest in “leaving him there” Haw haw haw haw
if it’s not mean, at the very least…it’s just not funny. YOU DON’T LIKE 'N SYNC. WE GET IT.
j
Well I don’t have a TV, and I don’t care a whit about 'N Sync. I just love terrible puns. Keep 'em coming.
So, J, how about those Packers? :rolleyes:
“Of course like all new things on the market I think I’ll wait until the hype dies down and prices become a little more affordlbe, before I give it some thought.”
Yup. It worked for the Playstation 2! eheheehe!
Just that we’d probably be dead by the time it’s affordable for everyone, IF it ever will be since I don’t normally buy into the trickle down shit! Ah well!
