Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on August 07, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Kent! You've orbited Earth more times than most of us have circled the grocery store parking lot looking for a spot. From piloting five Space Shuttle missions to making history with that first-ever docking at the International Space Station, your achievements are truly out-of-this-world.

Here's hoping this birthday is as smooth and successful as your legendary shuttle dockings—minus all those tricky maneuvers in zero gravity. May you continue soaring through life with humor, grace, and fewer countdowns (unless they're counting down candles on cake). Cheers to another stellar year ahead—you've certainly earned it!
