👩🚀 Kristen Vincent
Founder & Concept Developer, PEARL Aerospace Project
Creator of Spacenook.ca
Kristen Vincent is the founder of the PEARL Aerospace Project, a next-generation space shuttle concept focused on modular design, interstellar propulsion, and deep-space shielding. She created Spacenook.ca as an independent mission hub — a place where engineers, astronauts, and visionaries could help shape the future of space travel.
Working without formal funding or institutional backing, Kristen has developed the PEARL framework using accessible tools, deep research, and unwavering persistence. As a single mother to her 13-year-old son, Dakota, and an autistic creator, she brings a unique blend of systems thinking, grit, and purpose to every line of code and design.
The PEARL Project is not about what she doesn’t have — it’s about what she’s building anyway.
Her work invites collaboration from those who see possibility where others see limitations — and who believe that the future of spaceflight may start far from the top, but never far from vision.
