Happy Birthday, Ralph! May your day be filled with more spark than an orbital engine and fewer emissions than ever before. Your brilliant invention didn't just revolutionize engines—it gave the world a cleaner breath of fresh air (literally!). Thanks for helping us all burn fuel smarter and making efficiency look effortlessly cool.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as you've brought innovation to engineering. Keep inspiring us with your inventive spirit—after all, you're proof that age is just another number on the odometer. Cheers to many more years of smooth-running adventures ahead!
