Happy Birthday, Jack Swigert! Hope your day is out of this world—though preferably without any unexpected "problems." Your calm voice under pressure made history when you famously told Houston about Apollo 13's little hiccup. Thanks for reminding us all that even in space travel, understatement can be hilarious.Here's wishing the astronaut who turned a near-disaster into one giant leap for problem-solving another year filled with smooth missions and fewer surprises. May your birthday cake ignite only candles—not oxygen tanks—and may every orbit around the sun bring laughter as legendary as your famous call home to Earth!
