I remember last year’s celebration of Yuri Gagarin’s historic trip to space (he was the first after all). People were encouraged to have their own parties and celebrations. All in all I think everyone had a good time. This year it looks like there is just one big celebration in San Francisco. If your in the area you should stop by, Anousheh Ansari(wiki), (the first privately-funded female space explorer) will be there giving a speech.
