Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on May 26, 1951)

Happy birthday to Sally Ride, the astronaut who proved gravity can't hold back greatness! You soared into history aboard Challenger missions STS-7 and STS-41-G, becoming America's first woman in space. Clearly, you took "reach for the stars" quite literally!

Your groundbreaking journeys inspired generations of dreamers—reminding us all that science isn't just cool; it's out-of-this-world awesome. Thanks for boldly going where no American woman had gone before (and making zero-gravity hair look effortlessly stylish). Here's hoping your legacy continues orbiting our hearts forever.

Cheers to a stellar pioneer whose courage still lifts spirits higher than any shuttle ever could!
