Happy birthday, Space Shuttle astronaut Mark Polansky!
Mark Polansky, born June 2, 1958 in Paterson, New Jersey, is a veteran of three space shuttle missions.
His first mission was aboard Atlantis (STS-98) as pilot to the International Space Station in February 2001. The crew delivered the Destiny Laboratory Module, the first NASA lab to be permanently used since Skylab.
His second mission was aboard Discovery (STS-116) as commander to the ISS in December 2006. His wake up song was Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles.
His third and final trip was aboard Endeavour (STS-127) as commander to the ISS in July 2009. He must really love Here Comes the Sun.
