Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on January 06, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Colonel Guy Gardner! You're the only person we know who can casually say they've parallel parked a Space Shuttle—twice. Your incredible journeys aboard Atlantis and Columbia have inspired countless dreamers to reach for the stars (and made parking our cars seem embarrassingly difficult).

From soaring through Earth's orbit to commanding missions with precision and courage, your career has truly been out of this world. May your birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and zero-gravity cake—because after piloting spacecraft at 17,500 mph, blowing out candles should be a breeze.

Here's wishing you another stellar year ahead!
