BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | ‘Clown’ tourist blasts into space.
Space tourist and circus entrepreneur Guy Laliberte has begun his journey as the “first clown to go into orbit”.
The Canadian billionaire was aboard the Soyuz craft which blasted off to the International Space Station (ISS).
Mr Laliberte, who founded the Cirque du Soleil theatre company in the 1980s, reportedly paid $35m for his ticket. This makes his donations to the top players seem like chicken feed.

What a price to pay but its top of my list of things to do before i die. Might take 20 years tho..
$35 million dollars? Wheew!
Then again you can’t take it with ya -he earned it he can spend it as he chooses. Would’ve been nice if he would have offered me a ride.
