Happy Birthday, Millie Hughes! You're the only chemist we know who literally took biomedical research out of this world. Your groundbreaking journey aboard Spacelab proved that science isn't just cool—it's weightless too!From mixing chemicals in zero gravity to pioneering space medicine studies, you've shown us all how far curiosity and courage can take someone (approximately 250 miles above Earth!). May your birthday be filled with laughter as boundless as outer space—and cake that's deliciously stable under Earth's gravitational pull.
Here's wishing you another stellar year ahead; keep inspiring generations by reminding them chemistry truly is rocket science!
