Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on June 28, 1946)

Happy Birthday, John! You've always been ahead of your time—literally orbiting Earth at 17,500 mph. After three shuttle missions and over 480 hours in space, you've officially spent more time floating upside down than most of us spend stuck in traffic. Your adventures have truly been out-of-this-world!

Here's wishing you another stellar year filled with laughter and zero-gravity cake crumbs. May your birthday be as legendary as your NASA career—and may gravity never hold you down too long. Keep reaching for the stars (though honestly, you've already touched them). Happy orbit around the sun once again!
