Guy Laliberte, founder of Cirque du Soleil and the ONE DROP Foundation, will be the next spaceflight participant to visit the International Space Station. He will launch with the Russian Soyuz TMA-16 crew this September 30.The "Poetic Social Mission" will focus on water quality, Laliberte said at a press conference today. He plans to create an artistic performance and a work of poetry for the trip, which could last 13 days and will cost $35 million or more.
Laliberte said he was not afraid.
"You have to make sure there is no fear that you are bringing in with you," he said. "My main concern is to make sure I am ready."
The Canadian is the seventh spaceflight participant to fly with a Russian crew.
"Our goal is to promote space exploration by building a series of non-professional missions," Sergey Kostenko, vice president of Space Adventures in Moscow.
Space Adventures is the only company now hosting commercial spaceflights.

How many hungry people would that feed or homeless to get shelter ? Some people are too stupid to have money.
On the plus side, more vodka for comrades. I think I could buy every ABC in FL with that amount.
