One of the most amazing things I ever got to or will ever get to do. Thanks again to @setiinstitute.bsky.social for letting us do this a few years ago. And Happy First Contact Day! π
First Contact Day! Once our own Matthew Cimone got to interview the incredible Dr. Jill Tarter, who helped pioneer the real-life search for alien life with the @setiinstitute.bsky.social. . Dr. Tarter's message is of connection to the wider Universe, but also to each other. #StarTrek #FirstContact
