If you believe manned spaceflight is worth celebrating, then join us
in a party that will span the globe. Yuri's Night 2008 is only 71
days away! Mark your calendars NOW for Saturday, April 12.

If you've never heard of Yuri's Night: It's literally a worldwide
party on the anniversary of the first human spaceflight in 1961
(and the first shuttle flight in 1981). First started in 2001, the
event has had record-breaking growth nearly every year.

If you've been part of a Yuri's Night party before, you know what a
positive experience it can be and how much it helps public outreach
in the space arena. Last year, more than 126 cities celebrated on six
continents; this year, we hope to have even more -- we hope even in
Antarctica!

If you're interested, go to the website and find a party near you....
or even start your own! It doesn't have to be big.

Tell your friends. Tell your local media. If you're a blogger --
blog about it before, during, and after! Spread the word.

If you really want to help out, support the Yuri's Night executive
committee with a donation (tax deductible through Space Generation).

See you on April 12... On to space!
