Let's make this birthday one to remember.

84 years old (Born on January 07, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Frederick Gregory! You've soared higher than most of us ever dream—literally. From your gravity-defying adventures aboard Challenger's Spacelab in 1985 to piloting Discovery and commanding Atlantis missions, you've boldly gone where few birthday cakes have ventured before.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much excitement (and fewer G-forces) as those legendary shuttle flights. May your celebrations be out-of-this-world fantastic—and remember: age is just a number...though yours might now rival the miles you've logged orbiting Earth! Keep reaching for the stars; after all, you're proof that astronauts never truly retire—they simply achieve escape velocity from aging gracefully.
