Less than a thirty-minute drive from the capital of the United States of America, the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is one of several NASA facilities gearing up for Yuri's Night festivities this weekend.
Starting at 7 PM on Saturday, the 12th, the NASA Goddard Visitor's Center will be transformed into a club with a tech expo twist. As music from local band The Cassettes and hip-hop DJ Scientific (a NASA aerospace engineer by day) plays, visitors will have the chance to check out various exhibits, jump in the Moon Bounce, and dance the night away under Goddard's 5-foot Science On A Sphere, the ultimate disco ball. Other planned events include Space Jeopardy and various space-related contests and giveaways.
Light refreshments will be served, and beer and wine specials will be available until the event ends at 1 AM. Tickets are $15 at the door and $10 in advance, but advance sales end at midnight Friday, so act fast!
