Earthlings had a stellar time at Yuri’s Night, a beloved 21+ space-themed party at Seattle’s Museum of Flight. The annual event celebrates Yuri Gagarin becoming the first person to orbit Earth on April 12, 1961. Guests came dolled up in their finest far-out attire, ready to dance, mingle and learn about space exploration. Four-time shuttle astronaut Dr. Stephen Robinson attended the party to share about his outer space experience. The night also included themed food and drinks, local DJs, and lots of intergalactic excitement. Saturday’s sold-out spaceflight spectacle was especially topical as Artemis II splashed down just the day before. We love Yuri’s Night to the moon and back!
