Hello there, my dear readers. The holidays are in full swing, and there's no shortage of snow on the ground. It's truly a magical time.
My friends, I have a pretty big announcement for you. I just got the news, myself, and I can't wait to share it.
Over the last year and a half, we have dedicated a good portion of our lives to Operation: First Contact. Reading back in this blog can give you an idea of the amount of work we've put into this project. It hasn't always been an easy road that we've travelled, but it sure was rewarding.
All our hard work... everything we've worked so hard for... it's all about to pay off.
I just got the email confirming that we have a window for our contact! Clear your calendars, because sometime between February 2 and February 9 we are going to make history!
As a group, we're going to take a little time to collect ourselves over the holidays. When we get back, though, we are going to push harder than we ever have in preparation for the big day.
As you know, on the day of contact we will be asking questions to the astronauts on the International Space Station. We figured that it would be selfish of us to ask all the questions without involving the school. I'm sure that there's a lot of you out there who would love the chance to ask your own questions. This January, we are going to be hosting a contest. In a nutshell, students from Humber College will be able to submit questions to us. Whoever has the best question will be able to ask the questions themselves when we make contact. Imagine being able to say you talked to someone in space!
Check back here in the new year, and we'll have everything ready to go! In the meantime, I hope that everyone has an amazing holiday season, and a most awesome new year!
