Hi Reddit!

I was born with a famous last name. Charles Lindbergh was the first person to cross the Atlantic from New York to Paris, and my grandmother was the writer Anne Morrow Lindbergh. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to embrace my legacy but live my own life. I was at one point crippled by rheumatoid arthritis and found my way back to a healthy and active life. I’ve just launched a company called Escape from Gravity. Read about my story in a book called How to Make a Spaceship, or check out the History Channel documentary, “Lindbergh Flies Again,” about my own transatlantic flight.

I'll be back at 3 pm ET to answer your questions, Ask Me Anything!
