At 4.08 am on November 7th, 2013 GMT, Rick will be launched into space from Kazakhstan. He will be using the Travel Bug as an educational tool to help teach students around the world about geography and provide other educational lessons.
Lincolnshire Geocachers can help celebrate the event and earn themselves a 'Geocaching in Space' souvenir, courtesy of Groundspeak. Everyone who attends an event on the 6th or 7th November will be awarded the souvenir.
The event will be at the above co-ordinates. Attendees should gather at 4.00 am. Quiet fireworks may be let off at exactly 4.08 am to mark the launch then attendees may wish to de-camp from the launch site and assemble at a nearby 24 hour eaterie.
Fancy dress as spacemen, or extra terrestrial beings is encouraged.
The venue for the event has been chosen as it is the only place in Lincoln which comes up when you search for 'Space Lincoln'!
The event is planned to last no longer than half an hour.
