Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on November 19, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Eileen Collins! You soared into history as the first female pilot and commander of a U.S. spacecraft, proving once and for all that women don't just reach for the stars—they command them too! Your groundbreaking flights aboard Discovery in 1995 and Columbia in 1999 inspired countless dreamers to aim higher (literally!).

Here's hoping your birthday is out-of-this-world amazing—filled with laughter brighter than rocket boosters, cake tastier than astronaut ice cream, and celebrations more memorable than orbiting Earth. Thanks for boldly going where no woman had gone before—and making it look easy along the way!
