68 years old (Born on March 18, 1957)
Happy Birthday, Christer Fuglesang! You truly took the phrase "reaching for the stars" literally when you became Sweden's first astronaut. From floating gracefully aboard Space Shuttle Discovery to performing daring spacewalks, you've shown us all that Swedes don't just excel at meatballs and flat-pack furniture—they also master zero-gravity flips!Your stellar journey since joining ESA in 1992 has inspired countless dreamers back on Earth. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and gravity-defying cake slices—just remember: candles behave differently in orbit! Here's wishing you another year of cosmic adventures (and fewer tangles with rogue floating socks).
