From the creator

Local space enthusiasts celebrated space for five hours during Yuri's Night, Saturday, April 10, 2010 at the Virginia Air & Space Center in downtown Hampton. This was the tenth year that Yuri's Nights around the globe commemorated two historic April space achievements. On April 12, 1961, Russian Yuri Gagarin became the first person in outer space. Twenty years later, April 12, 1981 marked the launch of the first U.S. space shuttle. To celebrate the past, present and future of space exploration, Yuri's Night combined an evening of entertainment with interactive NASA activities. More than 215 parties in 67 countries on seven continents showcased space-inspired music, dance, science, engineering, technology and art.
