Happy Birthday, Don! From Antarctica to orbiting the Earth aboard the International Space Station, you've always managed to 'meteor'-exceed our wildest expectations. Who else would trek through icy wastelands just for space rocks? Clearly you're aiming higher than most of us—with literally astronomical goals!Your passion for science and exploration continues inspiring countless individuals back here on Earth. Whether it's floating in microgravity or wrestling meteorites from their ancient Antarctic hiding spots, you've truly shown we're never too old (or cold!) for adventure.
Enjoy your special day—may you keep exploring new horizons without freezing off anything important!
