20091009 Guy Laliberté in Space


20091009. The Cirque Du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté is in space! He's Canada's first private citizen to go in there. He payed $35 million of his own money for that one week trip. I say go for it if you can! Tonight he put on a unique TV show from space to promote his One Drop foundation.
The show, called Poetic Social Mission, featured the likes of Peter Gabriel, U2, Al Gore, David Suzuki, Shakira, Gilberto Gil, Bindi Irwin, Salma Hayek, Lila Downs, Jean Lemire, Matthew McConaughey, Joss Stone, etc, and I'm dropping only some of the people I know here! A poem by Yann Martel was read by some of the people cited here, some others performed songs. The show was broadcast from around the world. We loved it!
