It's Exploration Day again!!

Exploration Day

October 3rd is a significant date in Astra Planeta, due to a series of important historical coincidences:

> 10/03/1957 was the day Sputnik 1 was launched into orbit

> 10/03/2018 was the day humans first set foot on Mars

> 10/03/2036 was the day the Ariadne probe discovered unequivocal evidence of complex life in the subglacial ocean of Europa

> 10/03/2145 was the day the MiMUS probe returned the first images of the alien ruins on the Uranian moon Portia (although the investigation took more than a week to conclude on the alien nature of said ruins)

> 10/03/2191 was the day humans first set foot on a world in another solar system: Calypso, a life-bearing moon in the Proxima Centauri system

Exploration Day, therefore, is a celebration of peaceful and responsible cosmic curiosity that carries on the spirit of the people who expand our horizons. People of all walks of life, from all inhabited worlds across space, celebrate October 3 as the holiday of human wanderlust and the joy of understanding; hopeful that we will forevermore venture forth with humility and compassion, and never lose our way again.

Happy Exploration Day!
