Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on January 04, 1970)

Happy Birthday, Christopher! You’ve soared higher than most can dream—literally. From your exceptional role as Flight Engineer on Expedition 35 aboard the International Space Station to your calm and reassuring voice as CAPCOM guiding fellow astronauts safely home, you've truly taken birthday celebrations to an entirely different orbit.

Your experience communicating between Earth and space deserves a universal shout-out today. May your birthday be filled with laughter brighter than solar flares, cake fluffier than microgravity pancakes—and absolutely zero communication delays in hearing how much we admire you down here on Earth. Here's hoping this year launches countless new adventures!
