Ever since NASA announced that they had found a whole solar system of exoplanets that they believed to be similar to Earth they called TRAPPIST-1, I have been dreaming about the day humans can travel to live there. Since the discovery of the seven planets, scientists are trying to learn as much as they can […]
Just because I am happy, it doesn’t mean that I don’t get sad. As a matter of fact, you can feel your sadness even more because of your happiness. It is such a contrasting feeling. Lately, I have been contemplating a lot about friendships and loneliness. And my mind always goes to the stars when […]

The goal of our program is to help inspire children to look up and consider careers in the STEM fields to further advance humanity’s progress into space. We firmly believe that children are our future and […]

Around this time last year, I was a History major at Illinois Central College (ICC) in Peoria, IL, and was struggling to find passion in what I was doing in school. I was in Community College and couldn’t help but feel like I wasn’t doing as much as my high school classmates who were at […]

“I am worried about you Christina, I love your other work and I won’t stop reading you there but this? Well, I have to unsubscribe from here.” someone wrote to me the other day. “I wish you the very best.” she concluded. She has not been the only one who has written these type of […]
Some people ask me the reason why I talk about the stars so much. Why do I mention space exploration in my conversations so often? To me, it is rather strange how we don’t talk about the stars more. How we don’t find it surprising that we are so small in contrast to the […]
We live in a parallel universe that is holographic. We go to bed at night and enter dreams that take us to other worlds. We know that our consciousness never dies. We look up at the sky and see an infinite and vast world. And yet we turn away from all of the above and […]
When I started writing my next book (coming out late 2018) I was determined to stay as close to science as possible, especially in regards to what happens to us when we die. But the more I read and researched the more I saw something I didn’t expect. However, I didn’t really say it out […]
