Let's make this birthday one to remember.

60 years old (Born on August 24, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Salizhan Sharipov! You've boldly gone where few have ventured—floating effortlessly aboard both Mir and the International Space Station. Clearly, gravity just can't hold you down! Your stellar adventures continue to inspire us all back here on Earth.

May your birthday be filled with cosmic joy and laughter that's truly out of this world. Here's hoping your cake doesn't float away before you've blown out the candles—and that every orbit around the sun brings even more exciting journeys ahead. Keep reaching for those stars; after all, you're Kyrgyzstan's favorite space traveler (and ours too)!
