From all of us here at TrekNews.net, we’d like to wish you a happy First Contact Day!

Today, we honor the future flight of Dr. Zefram Cochrane, who in the Star Trek universe, will break the warp barrier on April 5, 2063. That achievement will be detected by a Vulcan survey ship, the T’Plana-Hath, and prompt its crew to touch down in Bozeman, Montana and make first contact with the human race.
Only 44 years to go!
Below is a clip from Star Trek: First Contact, where Dr. Cochrane (played by James Cromwell) makes first contact with the Vulcans.
