Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on October 17, 1956)

Happy Birthday, Mae Carol Jemison! You boldly went where no black woman had gone before—literally. On September 12, 1992, aboard the Endeavour for mission STS-47 (the big five-oh!), you floated into history and showed us all that space travel isn't just rocket science... oh wait—it totally is!

Thanks for inspiring generations to reach beyond the stars while proving astronauts can have stellar dance moves too. May your birthday be filled with cosmic cake slices floating gracefully in zero gravity—and may every orbit around the sun bring more laughter, adventure, and groundbreaking achievements here on Earth. Keep shining bright!
