Constellation: One year open space on earth!
Today, there are three things to celebrate I know of and definitively even more.

Today is the 51st anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's history changing space flight and we honor this brave man with a crunching space race.

Today is also the 31st anniversary of first orbital test flight, STS-1, of a Space Shuttle, the Columbia. We also pay tribute to this event.

And of course, today is our very own first anniversary. For one year, we have space on earth where YOU all take part in! This is your day and we want to say a big thank you! Without your help, we wouldn't exist and it's a pleasure to have you.
And we will do our very best to extend our efforts by improving the achieved and to start new things, like we will do next week with the local event of NASA's Space Apps Challenge here in Stuttgart. We hope to see you here and welcome our neighbours in Austria, Switzerland and France. Come on, it's not that far! ;)

When you know another space event in history, post it to this thread.
But today evening, go out to one of all those Yuri's Night event near you!

Let's go! 12 Apr 2012 14:03:25 UTC · Comment

Reminder: Yuri's Space Race starting this night!
Hello Everyone,

this is a reminder. Tonight, the Yuri's Space Race will start.

You can join the official team and/or join with your team. Russia Team had been so nice and also started a BOINCStats page for the race (and I couldn't figure out how to join with the official Yuri's Team. Can anyone help?)

Let's have fun and let's celebrate humanities first reach for the stars! 11 Apr 2012 15:23:53 UTC · Comment
