Happy birthday to Donn F. Eisele, the astronaut who took "reaching for the stars" quite literally! Your stellar performance as command module pilot on Apollo 7 not only made history but also proved that even astronauts can have a sense of humor in orbit—after all, zero gravity is just another excuse for floating jokes.Though you received NASA's Distinguished Service Medal posthumously, your legacy continues to inspire generations with courage and curiosity. Today we celebrate an explorer whose bravery was matched by his wit; here's hoping you're enjoying some cosmic cake among the constellations—you've certainly earned it!
