@randy:

perhaps you missed something. It was called the “Ansari X-Prize.” She (or her family) put up (most of) the money for it in the first place.

NASA should try to hire 30-40 year olds for a change. The college students are too cynical about government agencies and they don’t learn enough to be cost effective.

Just wanted to add that I have Yuri's Night photos up on Flickr as well. Also, I just posted a little article on Crave using a credited Laughing Squid photo.

watson,

I totally agree. What was seen at NASA Ames this weekend was one prime example of what NASA SHOULD be.

Yuri’s Night is NOT an official NASA sponsored event, and only at one of NASA’s Labs out of 10 (that one lab being AMES) was there a large scale, officially sponsored party.

NASA Ames is going above and beyond the call of duty, independently supporting numerous worthy causes such as private aerospace, Yuri’s Night, NASA CoLab (the NASA lab in Second Life!), the Next Generation Explorers Conference, and more… Using intelligent partnerships like the recent ones with google.com to further the cause of space exploration, regardless of the attitude of the current administration.

You want progress in space exploration? Ask Ms. Ansari if she’d like to be the next X-Prize! :-)

Hi Peter,

Actually the ‘Pentagon’ had nothing to do with our event and NASA was simply serving as our (gracious) hosts for this fine evening! As one of the event leads, let me iterate that our intentions were almost 180 degrees from what you’ve suggested. Yuri’s Night Bay Area was about bridging boundaries and insipiring unusual participation…

By the way, we’re collecting posts and photo sets like this on our website: http://www.worldspaceparty.com/postpress.php Please submit links!

thought about going to this, but then realized it was just a propaganda event for the Pentagon and NASA as they bid to weaponize space.
