Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on July 01, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Edward Lu! You've orbited Earth aboard Atlantis twice, floated effortlessly through a six-hour spacewalk, and spent quality time at the International Space Station. Clearly gravity has trouble keeping you grounded!

Your stellar adventures have inspired countless dreamers to look upward with wonder (and envy). May your birthday be filled with laughter brighter than starlight—and cake tastier than astronaut ice cream. Here's hoping this next trip around the sun brings even more cosmic success—though topping zero-gravity strolls might require some serious creativity.

Keep reaching for those stars; after all you've done up there already—they probably miss you!
