April 5th is a special holiday for all Trekkies out in the universe, celebrating First Contact Day and all things Star Trek. This day marks 43 years from now when Zefram Cochrane will make first contact with an alien species at warp speed. The year is 2063, and planes are only capable of traveling at the speed of sound, making this achievement significant. On that day, Captain Picard's crew will attempt to stop the Borg from altering the timeline by stopping humans from meeting Vulcans. To preserve the timeline, they must destroy the Borg sphere, ensuring first contact with Vulcans still occurs. The Temporal Prime Directive allows Star Fleet crews to intervene when necessary, and this event is crucial for the establishment of the United Federation of Planets or Star Fleet. Various characters in the Star Trek universe will celebrate First Contact Day, including Captain Janeway, who points out that as a child, it was just a day off from school. The Vulcan who greets Zefram Cochrane is believed to be Spock's grandfather. InfluxData celebrates First Contact Day by asking users about their favorite species in the Star Trek universe and provides fun facts about Gene Roddenberry's wife Majel Barrett and King Abdullah II, a Trekkie who guest-starred in a 1996 episode of "Star Trek: Voyager". The article also includes a review of the new TV show "Star Trek Picard", which explores Captain Jean-Luc Picard's final days on his family's vineyard in France.
