Celebrate Yuri's Night April 12th

Yuri's Night CelebrationsApril 12th marks a big day in space history. On April 12th, forty-five years ago, Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space. On the same day, twenty-five years later, the United States launched the very first space shuttle into orbit.

Each year, this historic date in space is commemorated with "Yuri's Night" celebrations held around the planet.  Already this year, 72 parties are planned in 28 countries.  Events range from gala affairs to a few friends having dinner under the stars.

For more info on Yuri's Night festivities, great space music downloads and more, visit the Yuri's Night website. Yuri's Night is the creation of two good friends of ours, zero-gravity flight coaches Loretta Hidalgo and George Whitesides.

Return to Sender 

First we stick the big labels. Then we stick the small labels. Then we stick the stamps. Sometimes we even compete to see who can stick stuff the fastest. We do it all so we can get a postcard with our latest news into your hands, for posting on your bulletin board or refrigerator door. We really hate it when postcards boomerang back to our office. Please don't forget to tell us when you move. That way you just might find a great picture of a MiG in your mailbox next to that phone bill.

(Sending us a nasty email telling us to go away has been known to work too, but we like the first option better.) If you do like getting this newsletter, please do whatever is necessary to keep your email service from tossing us in a spam box.
