71 years old (Born on April 27, 1953)
Happy Birthday, Ellen! You've orbited Earth aboard the Space Shuttle and mastered medicine in zero gravity—clearly, blowing out birthday candles should be a breeze for you. After all those missions among stars and planets, we hope your celebration today is truly stellar.From pioneering medical research on STS-71 to inspiring countless aspiring astronauts back here on solid ground—you've shown us that sky isn't even close to being the limit. May this year bring more adventures (preferably ones without freeze-dried cake), laughter brighter than rocket boosters firing up at launch time—and plenty of space-themed puns orbiting around you!
