Happy Birthday, Richard Mastracchio! Hope your day is truly out of this world—though after floating around the International Space Station on STS-106 preparing it for its first permanent crew, Earthly celebrations might seem a bit tame. Still, we hope you enjoy cake that stays firmly planted to the plate and candles easier to blow out than rocket boosters!Your stellar contributions have inspired countless dreamers gazing skyward. May your next orbit around the sun be filled with laughter brighter than solar flares and adventures as memorable as spacewalks—but hopefully without needing any zero-gravity plumbing repairs! Cheers from all us earthlings below!
