"ORPHANS OF APOLLO" MOVIE
Yuri’s Night is partnering with the creators of "Orphans of Apollo", a
documentary film about the adventures of MirCorp, a pioneer in
commercial spaceflight. A beloved film of many in the private space
industry, "Orphans of Apollo" features interviews and footage of space
entrepreneurs and key players such as Richard Branson, Rick Tumlinson,
Elon Musk and Tom Clancy. Yuri’s Night events are eligible for a
discounted screening fee for officially announced showings of the
film. Events may purchase 10 copies of the film (excellent giveaway
prizes!) from http://www.amazon.com/Orphans-Apollo-Tom-Clancy/dp/B002HJHGUO
in lieu of a standard fee.
