Submission + - NASA Hosts celebratory rave in aircraft hangars

AMuse writes: ""On 12 April 1961, Yuri Gagarin blasted off the launch pad in Baikonur at 9:08 AM local time. Gagarin made his historic 108 minute flight (orbiting around the whole Earth once) and parachute landed near his Vostok 1 capsule in the plains of Russia. This flight made him the first human to orbit the Earth and an international hero."

Yuri's Night is a World Space Party celebrated at over 90 events in 30 countries to commemorate the anniversary of the Vostok 1 Launch. The 2007 San Francisco Bay Area Yuri's Night will take place on April 13 at NASA's Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California.

The all-night event will include space and science exhibits, live music by several DJs, food and drinks and will be held in one of the enormous aircraft hangars at Moffett Field."
