76 years old (Born on September 26, 1948)
Happy Birthday, Vladimir Remek! Celebrating the man who boldly went where no Czechoslovak—or European Union astronaut—had gone before. Your historic journey aboard Soyuz 28 in 1978 didn't just launch you into orbit; it launched an entire continent's dreams skyward and made space exploration a little more international (and infinitely cooler).Even today, your legacy continues to inspire countless aspiring astronauts across Europe. While most of us struggle with parallel parking cars on Earth, you've effortlessly docked spacecraft miles above our heads—a feat that remains timelessly impressive. Here's wishing you another stellar year filled with laughter and cosmic adventures!
