Christina Korp’s journey from singing with Ringo Starr to managing Buzz Aldrin and overseeing space camps with Como Hotels and Resorts is unconventional, to say the least. Transitioning from a rock star lifestyle to working with rock star astronauts was not part of her initial plan, but it ultimately shaped the trajectory of her career in ways she never imagined.
Embracing Challenges and Taking Risks
Korp’s lack of knowledge about space did not deter her from diving headfirst into managing Buzz Aldrin’s speaking engagements. She quickly learned the importance of persistence and finding alternative solutions when faced with obstacles. Aldrin’s giant vision for humanity inspired her to set up Purpose Entertainment to promote space exploration and highlight the contributions of women in space.
Korp’s collaboration with astronaut Nicole Stott led to the creation of the Space for a Better World foundation, dedicated to organizing space camps that educate and inspire participants about space exploration and sustainability. By shedding light on the often overlooked achievements of women in space, Korp and Stott are paving the way for future generations of space enthusiasts.
The space camps hosted at Como Hotels and Resorts serve as a platform to bridge the gap between the space-curious and the space-serious. Through engaging activities and educational sessions, participants gain a deeper understanding of how space technology impacts life on Earth. From GPS systems to monitoring environmental changes, space technology plays a crucial role in fostering sustainability.
Korp’s unwavering commitment to promoting space and sustainability extends to her involvement in space tourism initiatives. While supporting advancements in space tourism, she emphasizes the importance of using these experiences to shift human perspectives on space and the planet. Collaborations with organizations like Space Perspective aim to build a community of space explorers dedicated to benefiting Earth.
As Korp continues to champion space exploration and sustainability, her partnership with Como Hotels and Resorts stands as a testament to their shared mission. By utilizing space technology to inspire individuals and decision-makers alike, Korp remains dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet. Through transformative experiences like zero-gravity rides and private space trips, she seeks to spark a newfound appreciation for the wonders of space and the importance of environmental conservation.
