Happy Birthday, Marcos Pontes! Today we celebrate Brazil's cosmic pioneer—the first Brazilian astronaut whose courage (and love for zero-gravity samba) launched our nation's pride into orbit. You've literally taken "aiming high" to stellar heights; rumor has it NASA now uses your piloting maneuvers as dance moves at their annual space parties!From orbiting Earth on the International Space Station in 2006 to inspiring countless Brazilians with your dedication and groundbreaking feats, you've proven that not even gravity can hold you back. Here's wishing you a fantastic birthday filled with laughter and joy—may all your future missions be equally astronomical!
