SPUTNIK GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY
From the Space Race to the Space Station:
Celebrating 50 years of exploration

November 15, 2007
6:30pm - 10:30pm

50 years ago we left the Earth and the world has never been the same. Join us for the Sputnik Golden Anniversary co-hosted by the Russian Embassy.

We'll celebrate the 50th anniversaries of the launch of the Sputnik (October 4, 1957) and Explorer I (January 31, 1958) and toast the next 50 years of space exploration.

There will be several exhibits by local space organizations (including NASA), and an exhibit on space history.

The event will include a jazz trio (all trained at the Duke Ellington School!), exquisite catering, and the premiere of the "Sputnik Martini" sponsored by icecaters.com.

Come mingle with the DC space community and celebrate the next 50 years of space exploration!

Tickets are $25 in advance and $35 at the door. Tickets are available through Google Checkout - please follow the link below.
