Let's make this birthday one to remember.

88 years old (Born on March 06, 1937)

Happy Birthday, Valentina Tereshkova! You blasted through glass ceilings—and Earth's atmosphere—proving once and for all that women drive spaceships just as well as men; perhaps even better at finding the perfect parking orbit. Three full days floating in zero gravity? Most of us can't spend three minutes without dropping coffee everywhere.

Your extraordinary journey into space paved the way for countless astronauts who followed your starry trail. Though many birthdays have passed since you first orbited Earth, your courage remains absolutely timeless. Wishing you a cosmic celebration filled with laughter, cake, and minimal gravity-related mishaps!
