Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on February 07, 1932)

Happy birthday, Alfred Worden! You truly took "falling to Earth" to a whole new level—literally. Not everyone can say they've orbited the moon solo while their buddies went joyriding on lunar rovers below. Your memoir reminded us that even astronauts have gravity-defying humor.

From piloting Apollo 15's command module with precision and courage, you've inspired generations of dreamers back here on our pale blue dot. May your day be filled with laughter brighter than rocket flames and cake tastier than astronaut ice cream (which isn't saying much). Here's wishing you another orbit around the sun full of stellar adventures!
