The Place For Space

The Place for Space is a podcast about how space isn’t somewhere far away. It’s already shaping your life every single day. Hosted by Christina Korp, known as the “astronaut wrangler,” and Nicole Stott, a retired NASA astronaut, artist, and mom, the show connects the awe of space exploration to the real world impacts here on Earth. From GPS and weather forecasting to healthcare breakthroughs, clean energy, finance, fashion, and pop culture, space technology quietly powers modern life. Drawing on Christina’s decade managing Apollo 11 moonwalker Buzz Aldrin and Nicole’s 104 days aboard the International Space Station, The Place for Space reframes humanity’s role beyond spectators. From hundreds of miles above Earth, one truth becomes clear. We are not passengers. We are crewmates on a shared planetary spaceship. Each episode brings space back down to Earth through conversations, stories, and ideas that show how everything we do in space ultimately benefits life here at home. Curious, grounded, and deeply human, The Place for Space makes the cosmos personal and reminds us why taking care of our ship and each other matters now more than ever.
