Yuri’s Night 2007
Written by Chad on April 11th, 2007
Ok, I will admit it.. I had no idea about this till I was sent this URL today. But it is interesting.. a world wide party on April 12th to celebrate the first human into space in 1961.
Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go into space on April 12th, 1961. The US Space Shuttle first launched on April 12th, 1981. Yuri’s Night is like the St Patricks Day or Cinco de Mayo for space. It is one day when all the world can come together and celebrate the power and beauty of space and what it means for each of us.
Although I am pondering just WHAT most people are celebrating when you look at some of the vids on this page. Especially the last one
To bad there are no parties close to me but I have work the next day so wouldn’t be able to stay long anyway…even if girls are dancing in just their underwear.
