Paul Richards, born May 20, 1964 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, went into space aboard the space shuttle Discovery (STS-102) to the International Space Station as a mission specialist in March 2001. The mission was to carry the crew of Expedition 2 to the ISS and bring home Expedition 1.
During the mission, Richards and fellow astronaut Andrew Thomas performed an EVA which lasted 6 hours and 21 minutes.
Richards returned to Earth after almost 13 days in space. He retired from NASA in February 2002 to pursue private interests.
