The first collisions, at sqrt(s)=200GeV, were recorded this year in December 2001 and January 2002. This report describes the first run, and our plans for the next five+ years, with planned runs at sqrt(s)=200 and 500GeV, and luminosity L=2x10^{32} cm^{-2}s^{-1}. See also the presentation at Moriond by Bernd Surrow on the first run with the STAR detector. Here we include a first look at measurements with the PHENIX and PP2PP detectors.Invited talk given at 37th Recontres de Moriond on QCD and Hadronic Interactions, Les Arcs, France, 16-23 March, 2002High Energy Physics - Experimenttext
