72 years old (Born on October 29, 1952)
Happy Birthday, Valery Tokarev! You've soared higher than most of us ever dream—literally. From piloting jets to floating weightlessly aboard the International Space Station during Expedition 12, you've truly taken "reaching for the stars" quite seriously. We still wonder if blowing out candles is easier in zero gravity!Your incredible journey inspires everyone back on Earth (and probably a few aliens too). May your birthday be filled with laughter and joy—and may you always find humor even when you're upside-down orbiting our planet at thousands of kilometers per hour. Here's wishing you another stellar year ahead, Colonel!
