Happy Birthday, Ellen Ochoa! You're truly out of this world—literally. As the first Hispanic woman to journey into space, you've inspired countless dreamers to reach for the stars (and maybe even Mars). Your groundbreaking missions aboard Discovery and Atlantis have left a stellar legacy that continues to shine brightly.And let's not forget your incredible leadership as Director of NASA's Johnson Space Center. Guiding astronauts safely through their cosmic commutes is no small feat; rumor has it you navigated Houston traffic with equal grace! Wishing you another orbit around the sun filled with laughter, adventure—and zero gravity cake crumbs!
