Many happy returns to Jean-Loup Jacques Marie Chretien, astronautical jack-of-all-trades.
Chretien trained with both the Russian and US programs, and served as a crewman on Soyuz, Mir, and STS-86.
In fact, he served on Mir's EO-4, which was also one of Aleksandr Volkov's Mir missions. The adorable Sergey Volkov, Aleksandr's son, is the current Commander of ISS Expedition 17.
And Sergey Volkov's favorite actor is Kevin Bacon.
(Okay, I made that last bit up.)
