Celebrating Yuri Gagarin and the Space Shuttle
"Let's Go!"
These were the words spoken by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin as he
embarked on the historic first manned space flight on 12 April 1961.
Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space
shuttle flight. We think that's something worth celebrating - so we do!
Every year on April 12th Yuri's Night is celebrated all around the world
- last year there were over 90 events or parties held in over 30
countries worldwide - and this year looks set to be even bigger. The
range of events is as diverse as the people who hold them - even the
residents of the International Space Station have been known to join in
the fun!
Whether in someone's living room, a swinging nightclub or a world-class
science museum, Yuri's Night events all have one thing in common -
people who are excited about space exploration and who want to join
together to celebrate it.
