Happy Birthday, Vladimir Vasyutin! Celebrating the man who boldly went where few have gone before—spending over sixty days floating around in space aboard Soyuz T-14 and Salyut 7. Your cosmic adventures remind us all that gravity is overrated!Your stellar leadership as commander of the mission continues to inspire generations of dreamers gazing skyward. Here's hoping your birthday cake stays firmly grounded on Earth today; after two months eating astronaut food, you've earned a slice (or three) with extra frosting.
Wishing you another orbit around the sun filled with laughter, joy—and fewer zero-gravity mishaps than your last adventure!
