Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on September 02, 1944)

Happy birthday, Claude Nicollier! You soared to new heights—not just once, but four times aboard NASA's Space Shuttles. Clearly, you couldn't resist the attraction of floating Swiss chocolate in zero gravity! Your achievements as Switzerland's first astronaut remain stellar and continue inspiring us all.

Here's hoping your celebration launches you into orbit once again—though maybe without needing a shuttle this time. Whether you're gazing at distant galaxies or enjoying a nice piece of cheese back here on Earth, remember: there's no age limit for being extraterrestrially awesome.

Happy birthday to our favorite Swiss space legend—cheers to you always!
