Guy Laliberte, a billionaire who once worked as a stilt-walker and fire-eater, said Tuesday that he accomplished his mission by using a 10-day trip to the International Space Station to promote a humanitarian cause. The Canadian Cirque du Soleil founder — dubbed “the first clown in space” — said his $35 million trip was an effective “marketing tool to put the One Drop Foundation on the map.” The nonprofit group promotes access to clean water worldwide, and Laliberte advanced that cause by hosting a global Web broadcast that featured rock stars and politicians.
