"In September 2009, Guy Laliberté will undertake a groundbreaking, ground-leaving adventure of a lifetime. The Founder of Cirque du Soleil and the ONE DROP Foundation will become Canada’s first private explorer in space and the first to engage in a Poetic Social Mission in Space."



"We had the opportunity to watch the launch from a rather uncommon vantage point. We popped open a bottle of champagne in the middle of the desert to celebrate a successful lift off.

After passing almost every car on the way, our vehicle started acting up and we had to pull off onto the shoulder of the road until the minibus finally came to a grinding halt! Fortunately, we were just 15 minutes away from our destination, and help showed up in a jiffy (and it was no camel)!"
