Yuri's Night

April 12 (Tommorow night) is Yuri's Night - an international event to celebrate the
anniversary of the beginning of manned space flight. On April 12 1961, 45 years ago, Yuri Gagarin was launched into space, the first human to travel beyond our fragile world. This is also the 25th anniversary of STS-1, the first Space Shuttle flight, with John Young and Robert Crippen.

What will you do for Yuri's Nlight? I'm going to have a loook for the ISS, and tell my kids about Yuri Gagarin and his flight. If you are more adventurous, you can go to a Yuri's Night Party. There is one in Adelaide (see the party link for contact details), and one in Sydney at the PowerHouse Museum (see party link for contact details, not on the PowerHouse site). If you can't go, why not have a mini-party at your place?
