October Challenge: "One Giant Leap for _____kind"

OK, guys...your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to reach back into the history of whatever Trek species you choose, and show us that moment in their history when they first reached for the stars. You've got your choice of species, even universe...the only thing that is off the table is prime-universe humanity (i.e. us) at any point in the Trek timeline. This does not rule out humanity in another universe. All other species are up for grabs.

I'm looking for the "big" moments in their history: first extraplanetary landing, first warp flight, first contact with another species, for example. Who are these people and why did they do it, and when?

Due to the nature of this topic, I'm giving you a bit extra on the word count to play with. You'll have 6000 words to tell us your tale of a space "first" for your chosen species. :)

Entries are due 11:30 PM Central Daylight Time. To check how much time you have, no matter where you are in the world, go here. :)

Another great topic! If I can get time, this one grabbed me right away! I may toss my hat back in...
 
Why yes, I believe it is. Not quite 11:30 here, but it is in CDT

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but i see two entires? Wanna make sure I'm not missing one. I'll go ahead and throw the vote thread up tomorrow if Nerys hasn't gotten to it.
 
It would be great if you would throw the thread up. I will be very, very busy today, and I don't want to hold up the challenge as a result.
