2nd Annual World Space Party "Yuri's Night"<br>
To Simultaneously Occur at Over 90 Locations<br>
on Planet Earth on April 12th 2002<br>
<br>
Los Angeles, CA - Yuri's Night: The World Space Party is pleased
to<br>
announced that this years event is far outpacing last years inaugural
event.<br>
With 90 events in 40 countries on 6 continents in the works for April
12,<br>
2002, organizers have already surpassed the 2001 party total.<br>
<br>
Yuri's Night is held on April 12 as it is "Cosmonaut Day"
in Russia. It was<br>
on this day in 1961 that Yuri Gagarin made his historic flight around
the<br>
Earth, making him the first human in space. This flight opened up the
dream<br>
of space flight to all people. Yuri's Night 2001 was the
largest grassroots<br>
celebration of space in history, with events in 64 cities in 29
countries on<br>
all 7 continents. An estimated 10,000 worldwide celebrants, from
underground<br>
ravers to NASA rocket scientists, joined to celebrate the anniversary
of the<br>
first human spaceflight by the Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. The
date also<br>
marked the 20th anniversary of the first Space Shuttle flight.
"Yuri's<br>
Night 2001 was a global outpouring of our generation's passion and<br>
fascination with space," said Loretta Hidalgo, one of the two
young<br>
co-creators of Yuri's Night. "We had so much fun last year
that we just had<br>
to do it again." <br>
<br>
The flagship celebration of Yuri's Night 2002 will be in Los
Angeles,<br>
appropriately taking place at the Santa Monica Museum of Flying, with
major</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>events also being planned in Moscow,
Paris, and Sydney. The parties will be<br>
interconnected by a global webcast, climaxing with a midnight toast
to Yuri<br>
and to a peaceful future in space. A space party may at first
seem like a<br>
curious idea, George Whitesides the event's co-creator explains,
"Astronauts<br>
orbiting Earth see no borders, no countries... just one planet, one
people.<br>
It is this perspective which we want to share with the youth of the
world as<br>
we celebrate our planet, our future."<br>
<br>
Last year, the individual Yuri's Night celebrations ranged from a
large<br>
dance party that attracted over 1500 people in Los Angeles, to a
symbolic<br>
toast at a research station at the South Pole, to a picnic under the
cherry<br>
blossoms in Japan. The goal of Yuri's Night is to inspire young
people<br>
around the world to celebrate space. Through Yuri's Night, space
becomes the<br>
possession of not only governments and space agencies but of the
youth who<br>
will shape the future of space and therefore the future of the
world.<br>
<br>
Proceeds from the Los Angeles party will go to Cosmos Education, an
annual<br>
project to send young space professionals to southern Africa to
discuss<br>
science, sustainability and space in local schools. Last year
they reached<br>
4,000 young African students. Funds will also be donated to
support<br>
Permission to Dream, a program to donate telescopes and build
mentorships<br>

want to<br>
go too." On April 12, the world will come together to celebrate
regardless<br>
of culture, creed or national agendas. The planet is going to
dance. For<br>
