4) —> 40th Anniversary of the first human in space !!!
Yuri’s Night — 48 parties in 24 nations on 7 continents
Please read all about this. April 12 has turned into a great, almost
spontaneous global effort by university students all over the world to
celebrate the first human in space, which took place before many of them
were born! I have met many of these students from several countries, and
they are primarily in space engineering with some in business, medicine,
etc.
SpaceDev is proud to be a co-sponsor of Yuri’s Night Party in Los Angeles –
at the Hollywood Palace.
Today’s youth is picking up the space torch from the previous generation and
is charging forward to make space happen, perhaps even faster, better and
cheaper! Please join them for fun, or please support their enthusiastic
efforts.
Please consider attending if there is a party near you, and if you cannot
attend, please consider helping out this celebration by making a donation to
Yuri’s Night. You can make donations of any size ($10 $25, $50 $100 or more
will be a big help to the volunteer organizers). Please visit
http://www.yurisnight.net/spaceparty.htm
then at the bottom click on “Get Involved” then “Donate” You can make your
generous contribution safely online, or if you want to contribute a larger
amount or make your donation off line, please email them at
donate@yurisnight.net.
Please attend. If you can’t, please spread the word, and please also launch
a few dollars their way. Time is getting short and there is a lot to do to
make this a memorable global event!
Enjoy.
Onward and upward.
