Be sure to stay tuned for further information on this and the other 2 events: Space Day and the Celebration. Things are definitely coming together!

That’s the only word we can use to describe this years Yuri’s Night! In the morning we had a great turn out at our 5k Fun Run and were able to raise a good amount for the Challenger Center for Space Science Education! Then in the evening Yuri’s Night Houston 2009 went to The Meridian and it was amazing! We just wanted to take a quick minute to thank all the people who showed up to support the event and all the volunteers & great sponsors that helped make it happen! Yuri’s Night Houston was definately able to celebrate those who redefine what is possible very well!

And there will be more to come in the next few days,  including a full run down of Yuri’s Night Houston 2009 and photo links etc ! Stay tuned! If you have some great shots &/or stories of Yuri’s Night Houston you can send them, or a link to them, to yurisnighthouston@gmail.com and we’ll put them all up together to tell the story.

Thanks again everyone, and remember to keep redefining what is possible!
