Happy 19th birthday to astronaut Jack Lousma! Lousma commanded the STS-3 shuttle flight in 1982, and flew his first space mission on Skylab 3, at age 9, in 1973.
And how is that possible? It’s possible because Lousma was born on a Leap Year Day - February 29, 1936.
Heh, just like that guy in The Pirates of Penzance. Happy Birthday, Mr. Lousma!

I'm nineteen and I'm crazy. Fangirl, scientist and writer. I'm at college in Boston right now, but New York will always be my home. Likes archeology, astronomy, space travel, history, superhero comics, general science, the oceans, Star Wars, mysteries and Disney. (Which is where my title comes from...)
“Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
–Walt Disney
