Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on May 30, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Helen Sharman! Celebrating the first Briton to boldly go where no British passport had gone before—space! Your stellar journey aboard Mir Space Station not only made history but also proved that chemists really do have all the solutions—even in zero gravity.

From Project Juno's groundbreaking mission to inspiring countless aspiring astronauts back on Earth, your achievements continue orbiting our hearts. May your birthday be filled with laughter brighter than a supernova and cake tastier than astronaut ice cream. Here's hoping this year brings you adventures as extraordinary as floating through space—but perhaps with fewer freeze-dried meals!
