First Contact Day

April 5th, 2006

Not sure if anyone noticed, but it's First Contact day for Trekkies.

"First Contact took place on the evening of April 5, 2063, when a Vulcan survey ship, the T'Plana-Hath, having detected the warp signature of the Phoenix, touched down in Bozeman, central Montana, where they met with the Phoenix's designer and pilot, Zefram Cochrane. This event is generally referred to as the defining moment in human history, eventually paving the way for a unified world government and, later, the United Federation of Planets."

Of course, conspiracy theorists will say that humans and vulcans made first contact in 1957.

And then there are the gaters who believe Stargate is actually real and that there is no way that Stargate and Star Trek could co-exist in the same universe.
