Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 02, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Linda! You've soared higher than most—literally. After four incredible shuttle missions aboard Atlantis and Endeavour, you've proven that gravity is just a suggestion. Your stellar career has inspired countless dreamers to reach for the stars (and maybe even Mars).

Here's hoping your birthday celebration is out of this world—though we understand if you'd prefer cake over freeze-dried ice cream this time around. May your year ahead be filled with laughter, joy, and adventures that rival orbiting Earth at 17,500 miles per hour. Keep shining bright; you're truly astronomical!
