Happy birthday, Rodolfo Neri Vela! Celebrating the man who boldly went where no Mexican had gone before—literally. Your journey into space not only made history but also proved that tacos taste just as delicious in zero gravity. Thanks for showing us all how to reach for the stars (and snack among them).Beyond your stellar adventures, your contributions as a scientist continue inspiring generations of dreamers and explorers alike. May this year bring you more cosmic achievements and fewer floating tortillas! Here's wishing you another orbit around the sun filled with laughter, discovery, and plenty of cake firmly grounded on Earth.
