香港特區成立29周年紀念日,官方慶祝活動在灣仔一帶密集上演,從金紫荊廣場的升旗儀式,到會展大會堂的慶祝酒會,再延伸至香港太空館的免費開放,形成一套由海陸空至太空的完整儀式鏈條。行政長官李家超與多名政府高層官員、行政會議成員及三位前任特首早上先在金紫荊廣場肅立觀禮,其後轉往會展出席酒會;同場亦安排啟動慶祝中國共產黨成立105周年的相關活動,政治與紀念意涵交織。
當日上午8時舉行的升旗儀式中,護旗方隊依例護送國旗與區旗至旗桿位置,全體嘉賓面向旗幟肅立。警察樂隊現場奏樂,國歌則由歌唱家領唱,聯同本地中學合唱團獻唱。隨着國旗和區旗升至旗杆頂端,紀律部隊在空中和海上同步敬禮,形成陸、海、空多維度的視覺場景。現場不設公眾觀禮區,活動以官方嘉賓為主,突顯儀式的莊重與官方色彩。
升旗儀式後,會展大會堂舉行慶祝酒會,李家超擔任主禮。酒會期間,一段來自「天宮」空間站的短片成為焦點:香港首位載荷專家黎家盈在太空以視像方式向国家和香港送上祝福。畫面中,她身穿國家航天員藍色工作服,背後懸掛香港特區區旗,旁側疑似為其專用太空衣,手臂位置繡有國旗,呈現出國家航天工程與香港身份的雙重符號。她以普通話與廣東話先後發言,強調能在國家太空站展示區旗是「深深感謝」與「深深祝福」的象徵,並指出自己身處太空與香港見面,正體現「一國兩制」下背靠祖國的機遇。
在「天宮」發出的訊息之外,香港本地也掀起一股「航天熱」。為配合回歸紀念,政府聯同多個界別推出優惠,其中太空館展覽廳免費開放,並免費放映多場天象節目,吸引大批市民入場。館內以航天和天文為主題的展品與互動設施,再加上關於黎家盈執行任務的相關內容,令不少家長特意帶同子女前來「增長太空知識」。有家長直言,這是孩子認識航天科普與香港太空人的難得機會,也期望當局未來加大相關活動安排,啟發青年投身創科。
黎家盈已在太空執行任務逾一個月,創新科技及工業局局長孫東透露,當局正透過港澳辦及國家載人航天工程辦公室研究安排,爭取在新學年開學後促成她與本地青少年交流,以延續本次「太空連線」所激發的興趣。他指詢問反應相當踴躍,除學生外亦可能涵蓋創科界及不同界別人士,強調相關安排需多部門協調,正積極籌備。從金紫荊廣場的實體儀式,到「天宮」中飄浮的區旗,再到太空館內的親子參觀路線,香港在回歸29周年這個節點上,嘗試將政治紀念、國家敘事與科技想像打包輸出,為未來創科發展預熱。
