Jerk du Soleil



Oh Lordy. Next civilian astronaut due up in space? Guy Laliberte, the founder of Cirque du Soleil.

Personally I think all members of the aforementioned Cirque should be blasted into outer space, but that's just me.

Now admittedly Guy is using this opportunity to call attention to the organization he founded, One Drop Foundation which provides clean water for people worldwide. I think that will take on a whole new meaning once he's drinking his recycled piss.

This guy Guy is married and has five kids and this little jaunt is costing him about $30 million, and that's on top of the $5 million he's paid to be a member of Space Adventures' Orbital Mission Explorer Circle Program. You could buy a hell of a water with that much dough.
