Happy birthday, James! It's not every day I get to send birthday wishes to someone who's orbited Earth more times than I've circled the grocery store parking lot looking for a spot. Cheers to you—the astronaut who literally took birthdays to another dimension!From your remarkable shuttle missions and memorable spacewalks, you've soared above everyday life. While some of us still struggle assembling IKEA furniture, you're out there effortlessly repairing satellites and setting new heights (literally). Thank you for inspiring generations with your courage and wit—may gravity never slow down your adventurous spirit. Here's wishing you an astronomical celebration!
