Exclusive: Lance Bass, a member of pop group Nsync and a trained Russian cosmonaut, is hosting a new podcast series about space.
Bass will host The Last Soviet, which tells the story of Russian astronaut Sergei Krikalev’s 313 days in space during the collapse of the Ussr.

"It's my planet, I want to protect it." Universal has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled The Wonderful: Stories From the Space Station, from filmmaker Clare Lewins of the doc film I Am Ali previously. This time she focuses on the astronauts, and all of the other people involved, who have been to the International Space Station (also known as the Iss).
