First Contact Day

On April 5, 2063, man perfects warp drive. As a result, the Vulcans make first contact with humans. It's a day of both technological and diplomatic advancement for mankind.Today marks 50 years to the day before these events are supposed to occur. Is that a negative 50th anniversary, a future anniversary, or a pre-anniversary? Jumping around in time make verb tenses tricky.  
 
Whatever it’s called, according to Star Trek canon, we’re only 50 years and a worldwide nuclear war away from meeting extraterrestrial intelligent life.  So happy Zefram Cochrane Day!
