Space Adventures, which provides space flight opportunities for the private market, reports that space tourist G LaLiberta has arrived at the International Space Station, along with the members of the International Space Station's 21st crew, aboard the Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft. The spacecraft took off on September 30 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The Soyuz docked at the space station as mentioned today at noon Israel time, when the American astronaut Jeffrey Williams and the Russian cosmonaut Maxim Suryaev were received about three hours later by the crew members present at the station - Gennady Padlaka and Roman Romanenko, the Belgian astronaut Frank DeVine who will henceforth serve as the station commander, the Canadian astronaut (Laliberta's countryman) Robert Thirsk and the Americans Nicole Scott and Michael Barratt.
During the ten days he will be on the space station, he will share with Liberta information on issues related to water through artistic means under the title "Move the stars and the earth for water". The message that will be broadcast from space will help promote the "One Drop" fund (ONE DROP Foundation). The show will be broadcast from space and from 14 cities on Earth simultaneously on October 9 starting at 20:00 EST (02:00 Israel time on October 10 in the morning).
Laliberte, 50, is a native of Quebec City, walks on crutches and breathes fire in circuses. He founded the first international Canadian circus - the Sun Circus with the help of a small group of colleagues. He used to collect talented street artists with whom he founded the circus in 1984.
His circus was built from the first day while providing resources to help the community and 15 years ago he opened a foundation that gives art lessons to street children all over the world. He also chose to establish the headquarters of his circus in the Saint-Michel neighborhood of Montreal, one of the poorest neighborhoods in North America. He dedicates one percent of the circus's income to social and cultural activities all over the world.
He founded the "Tifa Eht" foundation in 2007, with its goal being to fight poverty and provide access to clean and safe water for everyone. The foundation seeks to increase knowledge about the right to water as a means of survival for individuals and communities.
