Read the Transcript

Join Lance Bass for a one-hour live webcast. Lance will discuss his interest in space, and the training he has received in Russia to prepare him for his planned trip to the International Space Station, aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. Lance, at 23, would become the youngest person to go into outer space. Erika Guillory, from JSC's Distance Learning Outpost, will host the event.

Preparing for the Webcast

Give yourself plenty of time to prepare ahead. If you don't already have it, you will need software from Real.com to view and hear the webcast. RealPlayer 8 Basic is recommended for best webcast viewing on MAC's, RealOne Player for PC's. The players are free. For more information on this -- see How Do I Participate.

Participating in the Webcast

If for some reason you cannot join us for the live webcast, you can input your question ahead of time, and then watch the archive later to see if your question was answered during the webcast. It's not near as cool as being there live, but it is very helpful when there are scheduling conflicts. Also, remember that all of our chat rooms are moderated.
