67 years old (Born on September 19, 1957)
Happy Birthday, Richard! From treating furry friends to floating in microgravity, you've truly taken "vet visits" out of this world. Your groundbreaking work aboard the Life Sciences and Microgravity Spacelab mission proved that even astronauts can't escape biology class—though dissecting frogs is probably easier without gravity!Whether you're caring for animals or orbiting Earth at thousands of miles per hour, your dedication inspires us all. Here's hoping your birthday celebration defies gravity (but not cake-eating physics). May you continue boldly going where no veterinarian has gone before—and remember: space may be infinite, but birthdays only come once a year!
