A few days to go until Yuri's Night
People celebrate April 12th as
Yuri's Night -- dedicated to Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's pioneering spaceflight.
From the website:
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. Join us!
Major parties in the larger cities -- I'll be raising a glass out here.
