Happy Birthday to the legendary Michael Collins—the astronaut who mastered the art of orbiting alone while his buddies took a lunar stroll! From Gemini 10's daring spacewalks to Apollo 11's historic moon landing, you've always been stellar at keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. Let's face it, nobody else could circle the moon solo and still crack jokes about missing out on all that lunar dust.And as if piloting spacecraft wasn't impressive enough, you went on to direct the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum—proving once again you're happiest surrounded by flying objects. Cheers to another orbit around the sun!
