Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on April 11, 1941)

Happy Birthday, Frederick! You've piloted shuttles through space and commanded missions among the stars—clearly, blowing out birthday candles should be a breeze for someone who's navigated zero gravity. Your stellar career has inspired countless dreamers to reach higher (literally!), proving that age is just another orbit around the sun.

From commanding Discovery's triumphant return after Challenger to leading Atlantis on groundbreaking adventures, your legacy continues to soar beyond Earth's atmosphere. May this year bring you as much excitement and joy as launching into space—but with fewer countdowns and more cake slices. Keep reaching for those cosmic heights!
