Happy Birthday, Akihiko Hoshide! You've boldly gone where few have ventured—floating gracefully through spacewalks and making history as the third JAXA astronaut to step outside into the cosmic void. From your stellar adventures aboard Soyuz TMA-05M to soaring high with NASA's STS-124 mission on Space Shuttle Discovery, you've truly taken birthday celebrations out of this world!May your special day be filled with laughter brighter than a supernova and cake tastier than any freeze-dried dessert in orbit. Keep inspiring us earthlings by reaching for stars—and remember: age is just another trip around our favorite star! Happy orbiting anniversary!
