Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on June 24, 1946)

Happy birthday to Ellison Onizuka, the astronaut who truly took birthdays out of this world! Celebrating you today reminds us all that age is just a number—especially when you've orbited Earth aboard Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-51-C. Your groundbreaking journey as the first Asian-American in space continues to inspire generations.

Ellison, your courage and humor have always been stellar; after all, not everyone can claim they've blown out candles while floating upside down! Here's wishing you another year filled with cosmic adventures (and maybe fewer zero-gravity cake crumbs). Keep soaring high—you've already proven gravity can't hold back greatness!
