“Let’s Go!”

These were the words spoken by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin as he embarked on the historic first manned space flight on 12 April 1961. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. We think that’s something worth celebrating – so we do! Every year on April 12th Yuri’s Night is celebrated all around the world – last year there were over 90 events or parties held in over 30 countries worldwide – and this year we’re partying in Second Life as well!

Join us all day and all night long in Extropia Core for live-DJ dance parties, rocket launches, air combat demos, a special Extropia Book Club tribute to Arthur C. Clarke, and discussions with famous science fiction writers, scientists and NASA officials!
