Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on August 11, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Frederick Sturckow! You've piloted shuttles and commanded missions—clearly, parallel parking a spaceship is your specialty. After all, not everyone can casually say they've helped assemble the International Space Station. Your stellar driving record in orbit definitely puts our earthly commutes to shame.

From piloting Discovery on the first ISS assembly mission to commanding Atlantis and Discovery again, you've boldly gone where few have ventured—and made it look easy. Here's hoping your birthday celebration is as smooth as your shuttle landings and filled with laughter that's truly out of this world. Keep reaching for the stars (literally)!
