Happy Birthday, Rusty Schweickart! Wishing a stellar celebration to the astronaut who boldly piloted Apollo 9's Lunar Module for its very first test spin. Forty minutes outside that spacecraft in orbit—talk about taking 'stepping out' to new heights!Rusty, you’ve managed remarkable feats: pioneering crucial tests that paved humanity’s journey towards lunar landings and demonstrating courage floating freely above Earth. It's not every day someone floats through space before blowing out candles on Earth-bound cakes! Here's hoping your birthday is truly out-of-this-world too—with laughter brighter than rocket sparks and adventures even grander ahead.
Keep soaring higher; you're timeless indeed!
