Happy “First Contact” Day!
http://www.dearastronomer.com/
In the Star Trek universe, humanity achieved the first warp speed flight on this day in 2063. Physicist Zefram Cochrane then made “first contact” with the Vulcans after his historic warp flight.
As a science-fiction fan, I’m often amazed at how many scientific and technological advancements have been directly influenced by science-fiction. NASA has a great write-up on the science of Star Trek at: http://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/features/star_trek.html
Don’t try to be a great man. Just be a man, and let history make its own judgments.
– Zefram Cochrane.
