In a savvy and progressive intermingling of science and entertainment, NASA’s Ames Research Center recently hosted Yuri’s Night 2007 in honor of the first manned orbit of the Earth 46 years earlier.
Combining interactive exhibits, art displays, and music performances, NASA’s Bay Area celebration joined others around the globe in looking to the future while celebrating our intrepid past, all with an audience it may not have otherwise reached and inspired.
From Fake Science:
I showed up with friends a little on the early side and found myself at a downsized mixture of a technology expo, Burning Man, and a dance party. The event was contained in and around an airplane hangar, and attractions were spread out all over the floor of the inside space and surrounding tarmac. Inside were vending booths selling anything from water, funky clothing to food, as well as a slew of interesting demos.
