Happy Birthday, Charles Bolden! You've soared higher than most of us ever dream—literally. From piloting space shuttles to boldly leading NASA as its first African American administrator, your journey has been truly out-of-this-world. We still wonder if you secretly miss zero gravity birthday cakes!Your leadership at NASA not only launched groundbreaking missions but also inspired countless young minds to reach for the stars (and beyond). Here's hoping your special day is filled with laughter and joy—and perhaps a cake that's easier to handle than astronaut food packets! Keep shining bright; you're forever our favorite star commander.
