A space conference held in honor of famed Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin has been renamed because he was Russian.
In a now-deleted announcement, the non-profit Space Foundation said that “in light of current world events,” they would be changing “Yuri’s Night” to “A Celebration of Space: Discover What’s Next” at its Space Symposium conference, Futurism reported.
