DDE Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Belated but related: the space-themed exposition, complete with Gagarin's pod, has reopened at VDNKh. It's half-empty, not all of the exhibits have tags, AND THE MARS-3 ROVER DEPLOYMENT ARM IS SHOVED OUT OF VIEW... but it's still better than the electronics bazaar that used to be there. The whole of VDNKh is a construction zone, though. Avoid it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunlitZelkova Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 The twelfth day of the fourth month of the one thousandth nine hundredth and sixty first year of the Common Era. Mandatory party-produced speeches notwithstanding, Major Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin did not see empires, republics, or states from orbit- he saw the planet Earth, the only known place to harbor life in the universe, which we all share as our habitat. In the spirit that so many claimed to possess at that time, here’s hoping we can all live together peacefully, and cooperate for the benefit of each other. Cheers. Note- this thread was revived last year despite no activity, so I am assuming it is ok to revive it again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 https://www.thisiscleveland.com/events/yuri-s-night-space-party I’ve always wanted to go, maybe I will this year. Not the exactly right date, but they do hold the party every year. (Well, most years, ya know, last couple have been rough). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunlitZelkova Posted Friday at 08:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:19 PM Happy Cosmonautics Day! ハッピーロシアの宇宙の日！ С днем* космонавтики! *I was today years old when I learned that the umlaut is optional like the acute accent mark. Here's hoping by the 100th anniversary of his flight the Russian space program will be in a better shape than now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegarrison Posted Saturday at 02:34 AM Share Posted Saturday at 02:34 AM Seattle's Museum Of Flight has a Yuri's Night party every year. This year the radio station I listen to in the car (C89, a Seattle high school radio station) was heavily advertising that the party would include wearable vibration technology for deaf and hard of hearing people to enjoy dancing to the music.

Nice, I haven't been there since 2016 unfortunately. When I eventually get around to going again I'm excited to see the B-52, which wasn't there the last time I visited.
