For those of you interested in a topic brought up on a recent podcast, the AP just cleared this story I plucked off the wire while at work (and just FYI, I will NOT be including this as a breaking news item with dramatic theme music...another podcast mainstay 
)
MONTREAL (AP) - Canadian space tourist and circus billionaire
Guy Laliberte mixes star power, science lectures, music and poetry
with water hosting a show from the International Space Station.
People from around the world tuned in via TV and the Internet on
Friday the Cirque du Soleil founder, brought his crusade to
preserve the world's water resources down to Earth from his host's
chair on the International Space Station.
Former U.S. vice president Al Gore, U2 and Shakira were among
the parade of entertainers and activists that participated back on
Earth with acts performed in 14 cities on five continents.
The show was aimed at raising awareness for Laliberte's One Drop
Foundation, which seeks to draw attention to the growing shortage
of clean water.
