Pop star Lance Bass is back at Russia's cosmonaut center for a new training session, despite being excluded from the crew of a rocket heading to the international space station next month.
The 'N Sync singer, who was ordered to leave the Star City cosmonaut training ground earlier this month after failing to pay for the trip, has returned to the center outside Moscow, said Yuri Nikiforov, general director of Atlas Airspace.
"He will not go in October for sure, but he just doesn't want to interrupt the program," Nikiforov said by telephone.

Last week, Russian space agency spokesman Sergei Gorbunov didn't deny Bass might return but stressed that if he did he wouldn't be training for the October flight or any other space mission.
