Highlighting the scarcity of water, Guy Laliberte, the Canadian founder of Cirque du Soleil hosted his usual over-the-top performances from space. Called “Moving Stars and Earth for Water,” the show even included a chat between Laliberte and Bono, who was performing a concert in Tampa, Florida with U2. The two-hour performance linked singers, dancers to the International Space Station with 14 world cities. This event is the first of its kind to be hosted from space.  Laliberte has spent the past week on the space station after paying $35 million to fly on a Russian spacecraft, becoming the world’s seventh paying space passenger.
“I decided to use this privilege to raise awareness of water issues,” he said. “I believe that with true art and emotion we can convey a message.”
