Saturday, April the 12th is Yuri’s Night, the commemoration of Yuri Gagarin’s first flight to space. All over Earth, parties will celebrate the legacy and hope of spaceflight, from Alaska to Antarctica.

In Second Life®, party central is Extropia!

Special Guests! We’ll host a full day of events, but the cornerstone will be a special appearance at Sophrosyne’s Saturday Salon by novelist, futurist and gadfly David Brin! Soph will interview David in an open discussion event at the Central Nexus in Extropia Core, from 1 to 2:30 PM Pacific Time. See our news page for the full article or our schedule page for the full day’s events.

Music to Rock the Night Away! We’re still finalizing the DJ lineup for Yuri’s Night, but our all-day party will be anchored by Extropia’s good friend, DJ Nicki Petrichor! Nicki was on the decks for Extropia’s Grand Opening last November, playing our national anthem and mixing the world’s finest electronica, and she’ll be back for Yuri’s Night with a very special set of Russian and space-themed electronica, electro body music and more. See our news page for the full article or our schedule page for the full day’s events.

Extropia is a community of Second Life® residents sharing a common desire to build a positive, beautiful, empowering future for all. Extropia is a place where residents are encouraged to work and play together, and creativity is encouraged. We have no ideology beyond a belief that humanity’s future can be improved through its own ingenuity.

We will try to get into Second Life in the Theater at the Peoria Challenger Space Center for about an hour (and in between talks). 

 

If you cannot meet with us at the Challenger Center, visit us in Second Life!
