Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on December 12, 1951)

Happy Birthday, Steven Hawley! Five thrilling space shuttle missions—you're practically a frequent flyer VIP of the cosmos! Who else could claim Discovery's maiden voyage as their ultimate sightseeing trip?

All jokes aside, your incredible courage on board Challenger and Columbia still stuns us mere earthlings. While most people can't parallel park cars without stress sweat, you've casually maneuvered shuttles in orbit multiple times; truly next-level driving skills.

Wishing you another stellar year ahead—you've set quite an astronomical standard for birthdays. We hope the stars continue aligning perfectly just for you (and please save some birthday cake crumbs floating around up there!).
