Dangers of a space station - biological

Something I have been thinking of quite a lot as it is cold and flu season. While there are many dangers involved in living within a space station, the problems with being weightless, technical issues, potential crew conflicts, etc... but what about biological issues? It's been noted that bacteria do ...

Congratulations on the clean and honest campaign, worthy of an Asgardian. In the days leading up to the parliamentary elections in Asgardia, I met people highly qualified to hold a post in Parliament, but for some reason failed to achieve this goal. What I have to say to these extraordinary minds who have not been elected to Parliament is that we Asgardians all have a role to play in building our society. We do not need to be in Parliament or in Government. In Asgard we are all equal in importance. Only the workplace is different. These bright and dreamy minds will be able to assist parliamentarians and ministers by contributing their knowledge to the construction of Asgardia. We need people who are capable, above all, of well-intentioned support to parliament and government, and these people have already shown what they are capable of by taking up leading public office, and they will certainly be asked in a timely manner. This is admirable. Anyone who puts collective interest above private interest is worthy of my respect and admiration. We are all to be congratulated in this first stage of the construction of Asgardia. Campaigns clean, no personal offense, unlike any we're used to seeing on the news. The Asgardian citizens gave an example of civility and respect. I'm very happy for this. I am a Social Scientist, Specialist in Projects and Social Policies. I work in the Federal Public Administration, where I learned everything not to be done in the public service. I have mainly learned that: In our local society, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BE LEGALLY CORRECT, WE SHOULD BE RIGHTEOUS, and our justice is not always on the side of what is humanly just. I want to be Minister of Citizenship because I feel aligned with Asgardian thinking. I am not only referring to my academic background, because knowledge means nothing if I do not walk side by side with good intentions. These are things that complement each other. I consider myself a person prepared to take over the Ministry of Citizenship, because I allowed life to teach me. I have been a good observer of social relationships throughout my life and I know the mechanisms of interaction in these relationships (I want to thank the Parliamentary candidate, Geoffrey West, a brilliant mind in every way, who made me realize that). A qualified person is not made with a university degree. A person prepared for a position of government does not necessarily need a university degree. He needs knowledge allied to the love of his brothers. If I have the honor of being chosen, I know that I will have special people of character and knowledge necessary for the performance of my ministerial activities. I am not afraid of the future because I will have my brothers highly qualified to build our ideal. I would like the future legislators in Asgardia to remember that. As I have just said, when they begin their activities, the Law must be based on moral principles, not on the moral principles of our original societies, but on the moral principles that govern the good and fraternal human nature that we possess. Because we are different: WE ARE ASGARDIA! I want the Light to accompany our elected members of Parliament. Believe in your love intuitions, for they will never be wrong. Good work, everyone. Lucio Costa - Government Candidate District 9. https://asgardia.space/en/elections/candidates/Portuguese/25668/

Asgardia 1st satellite

According to our founding father, it is scheduled for this year the launch of our first satellite. Does anyone know how this is going to be used? How it will help our plans to live in Space or find funding for scientific research? Hope someone has an answer... Regards.

Dear Asgardians, Let's have a talk.

Greetings Asgardians from near and far,

Recently there has been a topic which has been brought up by “Arnulfo N Alegria” on the Asgardia General Facebook group. Arnulfo states that “[he] [feels] that citizens are losing interest in Asgardia…” and wants to know what is happening.

Link to the original post here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/204018803354568/permalink/386576435098803

Going through the comments on Arnulfo’s post I see some common trends:

No progress, looking like a pipe dream, nothing ‘big’ is happening etc.;
In-fighting, shouting down of individuals and online abuse of members, discrimination etc.;
Willing to help but nothing to do, needs more ‘serious’ projects, we need a plan etc.;
Lack of communication, infrastructure gap, many not knowing we have a satellite or website with forums for discussions etc.;
No Asgardian ID cards, no ‘official’ ID documents, disorganisation, elections are ‘not real’ etc.;
Lost interest, left after finding out they cannot live in space immediately, left after Asgardia ‘became a kingdom’ etc.;
Website sucks.

Now many of these concerns are valid and I agree that they need to be addressed. But for those complaining of having nothing to do or that there needs to be some ‘serious’ projects which will let them get involved is utter nonsense I think. That is because, since joining Asgardia in June last year I have started multiple projects for myself and the community to help build up Asgardia bit-by-bit to lay the foundations. Yet, despite me sharing my work and efforts on the forums, Facebook and messaging different citizens, I got a returned interest ratio of about 10 to 3. Yes, out of an average of 10 people who would see my projects, only about 3 on average would even give up 30 seconds of their time to leave a nice or constructive comment on my project blog post or my shared Facebook posts on the Asgardia General Facebook group. Meanwhile… a political post or a post highlighting how nothing is happening in Asgardia, is getting dozens of likes with hundreds of comments from all different people within the group. Maybe my projects and dreams for Asgardia fail to capture the mood of the majority?

OK, let’s flip the situation a bit. Assuming Asgardia did have a bunch of serious projects, like volunteering to help design a radio satellite or a space platform. How many people would realistically get involved? That is, assuming there are no criteria for a specific degree of university education. My hypothesis would be: out of the 100 people who would have seen the vacancy, only about 5-10 people would dedicate their 10 or so hours a week for it. Maybe I am being a bit pessimistic with my estimates but that is the amount I am sticking to for my hypothesis, feel free to prove me wrong Asgardians.

If you want me to address the concerns I have highlighted within Arnulfo’s post and its comments, I will. I am a 19 year-old university student currently doing a Bachelor’s of Innovation and Design, I may not be able to get us living in space tomorrow, but I can design concepts which will eventually make up what Asgardia may become in the future. But I cannot fix a loss in interest in Asgardia unfortunately, making things interesting is a highly subjective matter. If Asgardians who are older than myself, who have more experience than myself and have done more in their careers than myself cannot bring themselves to start getting things done without being prompted by our non-existent government, then it is not you who has lost faith in Asgardia’s future, it is me.

Now I write a letter to all Asgardians who have commented on Arnulfo’s post who are concerned with the issues Asgardia faces right now:

Dear Asgardians,
If you want Asgardian ID cards, then I will design concepts to show you what I imagine Asgardia’s ID cards will look like.
If you want progress, then I will create a progress summary of what we have accomplished so far and what I have accomplished so far along with a new roadmap of my future plans for Asgardia’s development.
If you want to help, then I will make a group project which will make use of your skills, regardless of which degree you hold.
If you want better communication, then I will use the innovation process to formulate new methods of utilising verbal and non-verbal communication to keep Asgardians connected, updated on news/developments and have a free community discussion space.
If you want to live in space next year, then start saving up for a ticket on one of Blue Origin’s, Virgin Galactic’s or SpaceX’s rockets to low-Earth orbit, the Moon and Mars.
Once my new projects are at a stage acceptable to propose to the Asgardia Administration and NGO then I will see to it that you can all try it out in some way , I make no promises but will try my best.
When I get my new projects done and implemented in Asgardia, you all owe me lunch and a coffee.
Yours Faithfully,
Steven (Edrick) Wang
BA – Innovation and Design
Swinburne University of Technology .

If I accomplish my above goals I have set for myself for this year and the next year. I will personally spearhead a proposal for a Ministry of Innovation within Asgardia’s Government. Innovation is not merely a new idea, a different method, or a process. More than anything else, it is a mindset. Something we need more of within Asgardia is a mindset of innovation among its people.

The purpose of this article was not to boast about how I can accomplish more than other Asgardians. I wrote this article to show that innovation and having the initiative to do work for the greater good of the future of Asgardia is important and that so much can be done by YOU the people of Asgardia, to help get this project physically into orbit and beyond.

Since everyone has given me more work to do, I guess this year is indeed looking to be a very productive year. For myself at the very least.

Thank you Asgardia, and thank you Asgardians for the very interesting things that have happened thus far.

Have a great year everyone, I’ll see you all in the next one.

Steven "Edrick" Wang.

Thanks for all your comments everyone. I do have to issue an apology to yourselves and the others within Asgardia for the way I expressed myself in this article. When writing this post, I lost myself for a brief moment only focusing on all the negativity I have seen lately on the Facebook group and thus I wrote this with an emphasis on myself and almost neglected the factors which affect other Asgardians' capabilities whom I indirectly targeted. My usual posts never tend to focus on "I" as much as this one did. My lack of inclusive language was largely due to me giving in to the emotions I experienced while writing this post. Some may have also interpreted my post as condescending to an extent and to that I completely understand why. The language used in this post was neither positive nor completely neutral, overall in the end I realised it made me look selfish, unprofessional and emotional. For all this, I apologise deeply. In the coming days, I will take time to evaluate what I have learned from making this post. Most likely I will delete my election candidate profile from the Government Elections, simply because I have shown, to myself and others that I am not ready for such a position within Asgardia. Previously, I stated to Ross Cheeseright at the time of the leadership elections that I was not ready to enter because I needed to learn more. Now I realise that I still am not ready, and that there is more to learning than just acquiring new technical knowledge in special disciplines. Asgardia is a wonderful community still, and has so much potential which I hope to see realised fully in the future. Our dreams for space which unites us and all the great individuals a part of this project is truly what made me join in the first place, I will keep trying to focus on the bigger picture and not zoom in to tiny details like I have in this post. Thank you again Johnathan, A. Snyman, Dahl, Reinoud and Dirk for your comments, your words have given me more hope than ever before and shows that I still have a lot to learn. Asgardia's motto of One Humanity and One Unity are words which I cannot forget, even in the most uncertain of times, I understand that now.

I've been following up on this and sadly I can tell you that the world's nations have failed to enhance their space exploration capabilities in the last 20 years like the US did, so here is whats gonna happen in the next 20 years: The major five or the grand five countries of the world will start the space mining business through their private and public sectors and sell the research, technology and raw materials to other nations and companies for a monetary amount, it might seem selfish but lets face the facts as we are supposed to be science oriented in our decision making process, for example asteroid "ANTEROS" is a metallic based asteroid that is worth around 5.5 Trillion dollars, it will cost more than 3.5 trillion dollars to mine that asteroid, private companies and smaller nations cannot afford to pay that money and they don't have the capabilities for pulling a successful space mining mission. What I'm trying to say here is that I would rather see the US start the race now than wait 30 more years for the freaking world to meet one hundred times and decide how are they gonna do it. On the other hand, Trump's executive order clearly says that anybody can start his own private company and contract for major space exploration missions or even just research new technology and capabilities, which I think is so great that I really am thinking of doing it myself. Another thought: some nations are still imposing regulations and restrictions on who can develop and test fly drones!! now i really am sorry to say it this way but those nations will never go to space, maybe their rich people will, but only as visitors for history have always showed us that science and knowledge can only flourish within the boundaries of a free nation or institution. Conclusion: if the US will wait for the world to agree to come together as one for the benefit of mankind then nothing will ever happen, if they start the race now then everybody will start running pretty soon to catch up and get a share of the cake and eventually the space mining industry will start shaping and come into existence and this is when humans can start benefiting from it.:)
