72 years old (Born on November 27, 1952)
Happy Birthday, James Wetherbee! You've orbited Earth more times than most of us have circled the grocery store parking lot looking for a spot. Commanding five NASA Space Shuttle missions aboard Columbia, Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour between 1990 and 2002 is no small feat—clearly your frequent flyer miles must be astronomical!Your stellar career has inspired countless dreamers to reach beyond our atmosphere (and probably made aliens jealous). May this birthday launch you into another year filled with laughter brighter than rocket flames—and may gravity always treat you kindly as you're blowing out those candles. Happy orbit around the sun once again!
