Let's make this birthday one to remember.

82 years old (Born on June 30, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Robert Ballard! Here's hoping your celebrations are unsinkable and filled with more discoveries than a submarine full of caffeinated oceanographers. Your knack for finding lost ships—like the Titanic, Bismarck, and Yorktown—is legendary; honestly, we're starting to suspect you have Atlantis on speed dial.

Thanks for diving deep into history's mysteries (and occasionally making James Cameron jealous). May this year bring even greater adventures beneath the waves—and fewer icebergs in your path. Cheers to another voyage around life's sunken treasures—you truly make getting older look like smooth sailing at any depth!
