As you may know, Guy Laliberté (founder of Cirque du Soleil) is
currently aboard the ISS as a "space flight participant" (Nasa speak for
"Space tourist").
His trip is not just to clown around, he has been planning a big show in
support for water, a scare resource in many places of the world.
To this end, he has organised a big show to be telecast live on October
9th (yes, this friday) at 20:00 EDT. (not sure how long it will last).
The official web site is http://www.onedrop.org
The show will include many guests, including U2, Al Gore, Peter Gabriel,
Salma Jayek and some french language artists.
I am not sure how much air time NASA will give him on TDRS. Not sure if
NASA TV will carry his whole show. But I have noticed that BBC has been
running daily reports on water shortages this week, so I suspect that
Laliberté has done something bigger that it appears on the surface. |
