El 1 de abril de 2026, a las 5:35 de la tarde, la NASA volvi\u00f3 a sorprender al mundo. Despu\u00e9s de m\u00e1s de cincuenta a\u00f1os, la misi\u00f3n <\/span>Artemis II<\/b> emprendi\u00f3 un nuevo viaje tripulado alrededor de la Luna, reuniendo a cuatro astronautas de distintas nacionalidades y creencias con un mismo prop\u00f3sito.<\/span><\/p>

Hace catorce a\u00f1os, el director de nuestra estaci\u00f3n espacial, el doctor Joseph Nagy, inici\u00f3 una misi\u00f3n igual de ambiciosa: poblar el mundo con los mejores seres humanos que pudiera encontrar en la ciudad de Cali. Aquella misi\u00f3n recibi\u00f3 el nombre de <\/span>Clase de 2026<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

Su objetivo era claro: reunir un grupo de valientes dispuestos a explorar el mundo y transformarlo. Para ello, veintitr\u00e9s naves amarillas recorrieron la ciudad recogiendo a 98 peque\u00f1os tripulantes que iniciar\u00edan un exigente entrenamiento dividido en cuatro grandes etapas.<\/span><\/p>

Muchos llegaron con sus maletas de colores, algunos aferrados a la mano de sus padres y otros convencidos de que ya pod\u00edan conquistar el universo por s\u00ed solos. Muy pronto descubrieron lugares que marcar\u00edan sus vidas para siempre: el palo de mangos, los salones, los pasillos y aquellas puertas desde donde alg\u00fan d\u00eda despegar\u00edan hacia nuevos destinos.<\/span><\/p>

En la primera etapa, <\/span>Bachu\u00e9<\/b>, aprendieron las primeras lecciones de autonom\u00eda, responsabilidad y curiosidad. Despu\u00e9s cruzaron el gran arco hacia Primaria, donde ampliaron su comprensi\u00f3n del universo a trav\u00e9s de las ciencias, las matem\u00e1ticas, el deporte y los desaf\u00edos que fortalecieron su car\u00e1cter.<\/span><\/p>

M\u00e1s adelante lleg\u00f3 <\/span>Middle School<\/b>, una etapa que los prepar\u00f3 para trabajar en equipo, desarrollar nuevas habilidades y descubrir que las grandes misiones nunca se cumplen en solitario.<\/span><\/p>

Entonces apareci\u00f3 un desaf\u00edo que nadie esperaba: una pandemia que oblig\u00f3 al mundo entero a detenerse. Por un momento parec\u00eda que la misi\u00f3n tendr\u00eda que cancelarse. Sin embargo, gracias a la visi\u00f3n y las decisiones de quienes guiaban este proyecto, el viaje continu\u00f3.<\/span><\/p>

Finalmente lleg\u00f3 <\/span>High School<\/b>, la \u00faltima fase de entrenamiento. All\u00ed enfrentaron nuevos retos acad\u00e9micos, sociales y personales, demostrando que estaban listos para asumir responsabilidades cada vez mayores y para descubrir qui\u00e9nes quer\u00edan ser.<\/span><\/p>

Doctor Nagy, hoy entrega al mundo la \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n de j\u00f3venes que tuvo el privilegio de acompa\u00f1ar desde sus primeros pasos. Hace catorce a\u00f1os no solo les abri\u00f3 las puertas de esta instituci\u00f3n; tambi\u00e9n les abri\u00f3 las puertas de su coraz\u00f3n, ense\u00f1\u00e1ndoles que el verdadero \u00e9xito se construye sobre la justicia, la solidaridad y el respeto por los dem\u00e1s.<\/span><\/p>

La misi\u00f3n <\/span>Clase de 2026<\/b> est\u00e1 lista para despegar.<\/span><\/p>

Nuestros 98 astronautas visten hoy sus trajes azules como s\u00edmbolo de que el cielo no es el l\u00edmite: es apenas el comienzo.<\/span><\/p>

Y dentro del <\/span>PPK<\/b> \u2014el <\/span>Personal Preference Kit<\/span><\/i> que cada astronauta lleva consigo en las misiones Artemis\u2014 no olviden empacar miles de abrazos, cientos de sue\u00f1os por cumplir y todos los recuerdos que hicieron de este lugar su hogar.<\/span><\/p>

Avengers\u2026 misi\u00f3n cumplida.<\/b><\/p>

Ahora despidamos a nuestros hijos y pid\u00e1mosle al Dios de la vida que los acompa\u00f1e, los proteja y los gu\u00ede en cada uno de los caminos que est\u00e1n por recorrer.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On April 1, 2026, at 5:35 p.m., NASA once again captivated the world.<\/strong> More than fifty years after humanity’s last crewed journey around the Moon, the Artemis II mission launched four astronauts of different nationalities and backgrounds on a shared mission to orbit our closest celestial neighbor.<\/p>

Fourteen years ago, the commander of our own space station, Dr. Joseph Nagy<\/strong>, embarked on a mission just as ambitious: to help shape the finest young men and women our city of Cali had to offer. That mission became known as the Class of 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>

Its objective was clear: to bring together a group of courageous explorers who would one day venture into the world prepared to make a difference. To accomplish this, twenty-three yellow spacecraft\u2014better known as our school buses\u2014traveled across the city, collecting ninety-eight young crew members who would begin an extraordinary journey through four stages of training.<\/p>

Many arrived carrying colorful backpacks. Some held tightly to their parents’ hands, while others were already convinced they could conquer the universe on their own. Before long, they discovered places that would forever become part of their story: the mango tree, the classrooms, the hallways, and the doors from which they would one day launch toward new horizons.<\/p>

Their first stage was Bachu\u00e9<\/strong>, where they learned their earliest lessons in independence, responsibility, and curiosity. They then crossed the great arch into Elementary School<\/strong>, expanding their understanding of the universe through science, mathematics, athletics, and challenges that helped shape their character.<\/p>

Next came Middle School<\/strong>, a chapter that taught them the value of teamwork, resilience, and the realization that no great mission is ever accomplished alone.<\/p>

Then came a challenge no one could have anticipated: a global pandemic that brought the entire world to a standstill. For a moment, it seemed as though the mission itself might have to be abandoned. Yet, thanks to the vision, leadership, and determination of those guiding this journey, the mission continued.<\/p>

Finally came High School<\/strong>, the last stage of their training. Here they faced new academic, social, and personal challenges, proving they were ready to embrace greater responsibilities and discover who they were destined to become.<\/p>

Dr. Nagy<\/strong>, today you send into the world the final generation of students you had the privilege of accompanying from their very first steps. Fourteen years ago, you did more than open the doors of this institution\u2014you opened the doors of your heart, teaching them that true success is built upon justice, compassion, integrity, and respect for others.<\/p>

The mission of the Class of 2026<\/strong> is now ready for launch.<\/p>

Today, our ninety-eight astronauts wear their blue gowns as a reminder that the sky is not the limit\u2014it is only the beginning.<\/strong><\/p>

And as every Artemis astronaut carries a Personal Preference Kit (PPK)<\/strong> on their mission, we encourage you to pack yours with thousands of hugs, countless dreams waiting to be fulfilled, and every cherished memory that made this place your home.<\/p>

Avengers\u2026 mission accomplished.<\/strong><\/p>

And now, as we bid farewell to our sons and daughters, let us ask the God of Life to walk beside them, protect them, and guide them wherever their journey may lead.<\/p>

Congratulations, Class of 2026, and Godspeed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
