Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on September 23, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Loren! You've piloted shuttles and commanded missions—clearly mastering the art of parallel parking in orbit. With three spaceflights under your belt, you've officially logged more frequent flyer miles than most airline pilots dream about.

Congratulations again on being inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame back in 2008—a stellar achievement that proves you're truly out-of-this-world awesome. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and zero-gravity cake (just watch those crumbs!). Here's to another year celebrating a legend whose accomplishments continue to inspire us all down here on Earth. Keep reaching for the stars—but please come back occasionally; we need you around!
