Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on April 22, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Steve! You're the only guy we know who can circle the globe five times and still complain about jet lag. Whether soaring through clouds in a hot air balloon or breaking aviation records, you've always been one step ahead—literally thousands of feet above everyone else.

Here's wishing you another year filled with adventure (and hopefully fewer close calls). May your birthday be as uplifting as your legendary balloon flight around the world—and may gravity never hold you down. Keep inspiring us all to dream big and fly even higher. Cheers to more sky-high adventures ahead!
