Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on April 04, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Dr. Satoshi Furukawa! From mastering surgical precision on Earth to floating gracefully aboard the International Space Station during Expeditions 28 and 29, you've truly taken "operating room" skills out of this world. Your ability to juggle scalpels and spacewalks makes us wonder if zero gravity surgery might become a new Olympic sport!

Here's wishing you another stellar year filled with cosmic adventures, groundbreaking research—and perhaps fewer moments chasing rogue medical instruments around the ISS cabin. May your birthday cake stay firmly anchored in place today; after all those weightless meals in orbit, you've earned it!
