Please join the STARFLEET Medical Reading Challenge Facebook Group. You must answer the questions to join per STARFLEET regulations. You will not be permitted to join if you do not answer the questions.\n  \nWith that little bit of business out of the way…..all files will be added to the group soon.\n  \nThe Challenge is simple\, you just read. Read whatever you want\, as much or as little as you like\, any genre\, any age. You will fill out the excel document that will be in files with your name\, SCC number\, ship name\, region\, book title\, author\, and pages read. At the end of the month\, you will simply email the form to medicalr04asg@sfi.org. Certificates will be awarded to everyone who participates. There will also be monthly awards for the most read per person\, per ship\, and per region.\n  \nThere will occasionally be monthly challenges\, for instance\, this month we may give double pages read for Star Trek books\, or Sci Fi\, or historical…etc. Always\, any STARFLEET manual will be double pages scored.\n  \nI am sure there will be kinks to work out\, and I appreciate your patience as we begin this new Challenge. Please tell your friends…and we will have so much fun! “But\, you don’t have to take my word for it!”\n  \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Region 13 Virtual Summit: Boldly Going Together \n March 29\, 2025 | 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST | ZOOM  \nPrepare for an unforgettable journey through the stars!

Each month\, we will travel along another leg of our journey to explore and establish a human colony in the Proxima Centauri system. \nProxima Centauri is a red dwarf star that is 4.2 light years away from Earth. As of 2022\, two exoplanets are known to exist within the system: Proxima Centauri B & Proxima Centauri D. Proxima Centauri B orbits within the habitable zone which means that liquid water can exist\, allowing for the possibility of life\, or at the very least the ability of the planet to support a human colony. The purpose of our mission will be to travel to the Proxima Centauri system with a colony ship\, establish the start of a human colony on Proxima Centauri B and return home. \nOne of the purposes of STARFLEET Medical is to encourage increased physical activity\, so our individual goal as participants will be to travel an average of 8000 steps per day. We hope that you choose to join us for our trip to Proxima Centauri so that we can enjoy the journey together while we individually maintain a higher quality of life! \nParticipation rules:\n• The step challenge will take place from March to December\, 2024.\n• The challenge is open to all members of SFI. You do not have to be a member of STARFLEET Medical to participate.\n• Participants can join at any point along the journey\n• Participants will keep track of their own steps each week and then report that total to their Regional Assistant Surgeon General. If you do not know who your Regional ASG is\, please consult the Office of the Surgeon General Current Serving Officers website\n• The only units that will be accepted are STEPS. Please do not submit calories\, activity time or any other units other than steps. They will not be accepted.\n• Participants in regions that are not staffed with an ASG\, can report directly to the Deputy Surgeon General by using this form\n• Steps must be reported within 48 hours of the end of the activity period. Late submissions will not be accepted –THIS IS A HARD DEADLINE – NO EXCEPTIONS.\n• If you are unsure that you will be able to report your steps on time\, report them early.\n• Certificates will be generated within 7 days and returned to ASGs for distribution to participants in their region.\n• Two certificates will be available: 1. Recognition of completion of the monthly goal of 8000 steps per day 2. Recognition of effort for members that were unable to achieve 8000 steps per day. \nWe hope you’ll join us for this long-term challenge. \nThe schedule for June will be:\nWeek 1: June 1st to June 7th\nWeek 2: June 8th to June 14th\nWeek 3: June 15th to June 21st\nWeek 4: June 22nd to June 30th\n  \nJune 2024: “INTERSTELLAR”\n  \nOur trip through the solar system is coming to an end. This month\, we will be exiting our familiar neighbourhood and entering interstellar space. Seeing Pluto out the window could likely be the last familiar object that we recognize. Every kilometre we travel will now extend the range that humans have ventured.\n\n  \nThis month we will cross the heliopause\, which is the theoretical border of our solar system. It is the point at which our Sun’s solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium. Essentially\, the point at which matter from our Sun ends and matter originating from the rest of the galaxy begins. By 2024\, only two other Terran spacecraft have reached this boundary; Voyager I and Voyager II.\n\n  \nBy now\, we have travelled in excess of 18 Billion kilometres. Our ion propulsion system has worked like a dream. Although there have been a few small maintenance issues\, the engines have worked as expected. But now the time has come to shut them down. We’ve reached our maximum speed of 1/4 light speed and Newton’s first law will ensure that we maintain this speed all the way to Proxima Centauri. Our inertia will carry us across interstellar space for the next 17 years. We will need to start our engines once or twice for course corrections along the way\, and then again for our deceleration burn\, but for now they have done their job.\n\n  \n“Initiate engine shut down and commence interstellar travel preparations”.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Region 13 Virtual Summit: Boldly Going Together \n March 29\, 2025 | 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST | ZOOM  \nPrepare for an unforgettable journey through the stars!
