NASA commissions Playaz, Kenny Rogers & Larry Holmes to lead new space mission

Associated Press (AP) - The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has asked Kenny Rogers and Larry Holmes to lead a top secret mission into outer space. Kenny and Larry have reportedly agreed to the mission and have hand-picked the Playaz to be members of their crew.

The Playaz, Kenny and Larry are scheduled to launch sometime in the fall of 2006 to parts of the galaxy unknown.

It is widely speculated as to what this top secret mission will entail. Some reports claim that the Playaz will be seeking out alien life forms. Other reports contend that NASA is sending the crew consisting of the former heavyweight champion of the world and country music legend to lead a new colony on some faraway planet.
The Playaz have refused to divulge how long the mission intends to last, further shrouding the mission in secrecy.

Observers from the notorious Area 51 have spotted the Playaz testing a new "plasma" rocket that travels at greater speeds than today's spacecraft, so fast that it would allow astronauts to travel to Mars in one-third the normal time.

"I'm a gambler by nature," Rogers was quoted as saying. "So I agreed to the mission right away. It took a little coersion to get Larry on board, but once I told him that the Playaz were in, he didn't hesitate," added Rogers.

It is expected that Larry Holmes himself would comandeer the ship, while Kenny and the Playaz would be responsible for manning the navigation systems, various complex computers, engineering, and experimentation.
