Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on July 19, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Roy! You've soared higher than most of us ever dream—literally. From piloting spacecraft to steering NASA's Kennedy and Langley Centers toward stellar success, your career has truly been out-of-this-world. We hope today brings you more joy than discovering zero-gravity snacks aboard the shuttle!

May your birthday be filled with laughter brighter than rocket boosters and memories sweeter than astronaut ice cream. Thanks for inspiring generations to reach for the stars (and occasionally reminding us that gravity is optional). Here's wishing you another orbit around the sun full of adventure, happiness, and plenty of space-themed cake!
