I just came

across a neat blog regarding Space at Space CoLab, a place that is “Catalyzing interactions among scientists, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts in the space community”. The owner is using Second Life to host “Yuri’s Night 2008″ - to wit:

“Outer space is eternal and extends indefinitely far out. There is enough room for everyone there.” - Yuri Gagarin

Can’t make one of the parties tonight? Go virtual and attend COLAB’s Yuri’s Night party in Second Life. It begins 11AM PDT and runs until 11PM PDT, with live virtual music performances scheduled all throughout the day. I’ll be wearing my virtual Yuri t-shirt, if I can find it ….MORE….

What a great usage of technology!! Some of the virtual description and lineup includes:

Yuri’s Night 2008 is on Saturday, April 12, 2008
