Our Prime Directive

At FirstContactDay.com, we believe in the power of hope, collaboration, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Inspired by the Star Trek universe—and the iconic date of April 5, 2063—we’ve set a course to champion unity, optimism, and exploration by advocating for and organizing events centered around April 5th each year. Our ultimate goal? To celebrate humanity’s achievements in a grand, future-focused gathering that culminates on First Contact Day, 2063.

Our Mission

Promote Unity: Bring people of all backgrounds together through shared passion, community gatherings, and educational programs that celebrate cooperation over conflict.

Inspire Optimism: Shine a light on scientific breakthroughs, humanitarian efforts, and creative innovations that remind us of our incredible potential.

Foster Exploration: Spark curiosity about space, technology, and the future we can build—one that’s worthy of the optimism Star Trek exemplifies.

The Path to 2063

Each year on April 5th, we’ll facilitate events, panels, and celebrations—both in-person and online—to further our mission. From local gatherings in Bozeman to international virtual parties, we’re planting the seeds of a massive celebration when 2063 finally arrives. On that day, we hope to honor humanity’s achievements, share stories of hope and progress, and look ahead to the next century of discovery.

Join us, and let’s boldly go toward a future where unity, optimism, and exploration guide us to new frontiers—no warp drive required. Our Prime Directive is clear: to illuminate a path where we can all stand together, celebrate our shared accomplishments, and eagerly await the day we make First Contact with possibilities beyond our imagination.

Join Our First Contact Day Mission

We come in peace—and with a petition! In the Star Trek canon, April 5th, 2063 marks the day humanity first meets the Vulcans in Bozeman, Montana. Let’s celebrate the spirit of EXPLORATION, UNITY, and OPTIMISM by convincing Bozeman’s City Commission to officially recognize April 5th as First Contact Day each year. With your signature, you’ll help make science fiction into a community tradition that inspires us all!

Dear Members of the Bozeman City Commission,

We humbly request that Bozeman officially declare April 5th each year as “First Contact Day.” While the warp flight of Dr. Zefram Cochrane and the subsequent meeting with the Vulcans may be fictional, its message is anything but: it celebrates humanity’s unshakeable belief in exploration, cooperation, and a brighter tomorrow. By embracing this date, you’ll help transform Bozeman into the heart of one of the galaxy’s most uplifting stories—a place where imagination takes flight faster than you can say, “Engage!”

Enshrining First Contact Day in Bozeman means igniting the passions of Trekkies everywhere with community events, science fairs, gatherings, and educational programs that herald new frontiers and celebrate the best of human ambition. It’s a chance to spark not just our imaginations but our collective spirit of innovation—leading us all the way to April 5, 2063, when we’ll raise a glass of Romulan Ale (or maybe just a good Montana microbrew) to the day that inspires us all to boldly go where no community has gone before!

Live Long and Prosper,
