Step 1
Share a memory (text or photo) from 1999 using the hashtag #BreitlingOrbiter3 !

What do you remember about that time? Which technology did you use? When was the first time you connected to the internet? If you are too young to remember the technology at the time, show us a piece of technology used at the time that you have never used. It looks like “vintage technology” today, but it was the top of telecommunications technology at the time and used to follow Breitling Orbiter 3 live.

At the end of the quizz leave us your email and link to the social media post you made.
