About Yuri's Night:
Yuri's Night is a world-wide celebration held on the week of April 
12th, to commemorate the first manned spaceflight, made by Yuri 
Gagarin on April 12, 1961, and the first U.S. Shuttle Launch on April 
12, 1981.  Yuri's Night is organized by the non-profit (501c3) Space 
Generation Foundation.

In 2005, people celebrated Yuri's Night in 34 countries worldwide at 
over 60 individual events from Los Angeles, to Stockholm, to 
Antarctica, to Tel Aviv, to Tokyo, and even on board the 
International Space Station.

The Los Angeles Yuri's Night party is the world's flagship 
event.  The Yuri's Night 2005 LA VIP event was attended by over 100 
prominent space leaders including Bob Weiss, Vice-Chairman of the X 
PRIZE Foundation and Hollywood Producer, Marine Biologist Dijana 
Figueroa from Disney's Aliens of the Deep IMAX Film, Dr. Pamela 
Conrad a Senior Astrobiologist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and 
many more.  The VIP event was followed by a large party with 2 dance 
floors and world-class DJ's.

The goal of Yuri's Night is to increase public interest in space 
exploration and to inspire a new generation of explorers.  Driven by 
space-inspired artistic expression and culminating in a worldwide 
network of annual celebrations and educational events, Yuri's Night 
creates a global community of young people committed to shaping the 
future of space exploration while developing responsible leaders and 
innovators with a global perspective.
