Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on September 23, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Alexander Misurkin! Celebrating another orbit around the sun must feel easy since you've already completed countless laps around Earth aboard the International Space Station. It's remarkable—while most of us complain about jet lag flying cross-country, you're casually floating in zero gravity like it's just another Monday at work.

Each mission you undertake inspires awe and fuels imagination. From conducting groundbreaking research during your time on Expedition 35 to expertly leading spacewalks outside the ISS, your accomplishments truly lift spirits (no gravity pun intended). May your birthday be more refreshing than vacuum-sealed space food—and may laughter accompany every launch!
