Rabbit’s Rum performs with Capacitor Dance Troop. Yuri’s Night Bay Area is a massive celebration of space, science, art, music, and technology. Once a year in over a hundred places all over the world, Yuri’s Night commemorates the anniversary of the launch of the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, and the launch of the first Space Shuttle exactly twenty years later. Starting in 2007, Space Generation teamed up with the NASA Ames Research Center for the first time, along with a team of amazing volunteers, to host the largest Yuri’s Night celebration ever held in a massive hangar on Moffett Field in Mountain View, CA. Yuri’s Night Bay Area taps into the San Francisco area’s unique energy to bring together scientists, artists, technologists, musicians, and space enthusiasts in a fusion of celebration and education that is unlike anything else you’ve ever seen. In 2008 the event is growing to twice the size, bringing in more hot musicians, more brilliant scientists, more amazing artists, and the all-new Festival of Ideas.
