A US astronaut on board the space shuttle Atlantis is literally walking on air, with the news of the birth of a daughter back on Earth.
Randolph Bresnik, who is on his first space flight, became a father for a second time when baby Abigail was born back home in Houston, Texas.
The event makes Bresnik the second astronaut to become a father in space – the first was Mike Fincke in 2004.
Mr Bresnik is due to return to Earth on Friday after an 11-day mission.

Bresnik? sounds Jewish no?
Mazal Tov! By the way he wasn’t “the second astronaut to become a father in space”, because he already had a baby before. What happened then, he didn’t become a fatjer when baby Abigail was born?!?

#2. If your married and have kids you’ll obviously understand that with every child you become a new father/mother with renewed kochos to deal with the new addition and the others. your nachas doubles, triples etc. so with every baby one is a new parent for that kid. they don’t want old worn out recycled parents. may you have much renewed daily nachas from yours.
