74 years old (Born on April 21, 1951)
Happy Birthday, Aleksandr! You truly took the phrase "shooting for the stars" to heart—literally. Spending 174 days floating around in space is no small feat; most of us can't even handle a weekend camping trip without complaining about gravity and mosquitoes.Your courage and determination continue to inspire everyone back here on Earth. Sure, your heart decided it preferred Earth's comforts sooner than planned—but hey, who can blame it? After all those months eating freeze-dried meals in zero-gravity conditions, we'd probably miss pizza too! Wishing you another year filled with laughter—and plenty of earthly delights.
