Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on July 03, 1935)

Happy Birthday, Harrison Schmitt! To the astronaut who proved you don't need military wings to soar—just a lunar module and some serious courage. Your giant leap for civilian-kind still inspires us all, reminding everyone that moonwalking isn't just reserved for pop stars.

From collecting moon rocks to earning NASA's Distinguished Service Medal in 1973, you've shown us how far curiosity and determination can take someone—even beyond Earth's orbit. Here's hoping your birthday is out of this world (though maybe not quite as dusty as your Apollo adventures). Keep reaching for the stars; after all, you've already touched the Moon!
