He launched into outer space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station, achieving his boyhood ambition and a goal he’d worked toward since his days at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax County.

“I am attracted to the thrill of exploration, the promise of discovery, and I’m just plain excited about riding a rocket into space,” Lindgren said in a NASA interview.
