The country’s burgeoning space sector could be a useful foreign policy tool.

On June 30 of 2014, India celebrated another successful launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), the workhorse of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This time, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi was in attendance. His SHAR speech emphasized the role of technology in aiding development and referenced the humble beginnings of the ISRO. Among the many points he made, two were geopolitically significant. First, he observed that the satellite being launched, SPOT 7, belonged to a developed nation: France. Second, he challenged the ISRO to develop a satellite that would serve the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation nations. Those thoughts coincide with two of the three major foreign policy issues that confront India, as noted by Shivsankar Menon: its relations with major powers and its need for a peaceful and prosperous neighborhood.

That is what we need to run better diplomacies with other nations on the Earth and in the Space. We don't know our possible neighbours in the Space and we do not have any information about them! So we have to research them, make a good relation to them and through the peaceful technology work with them and build our power.

Peace

Peace

~Christophe

Actually the concept of finding a nation from all parts of the world using  very differing views, languages, cultures and ideologies makes this nation greater and potential and hopeful for science and knowledge along with peace and unity as one unity one humanity . I wouldn't say that I tried to touch that slogan in my personal life and failed to have it from Asgardia but I don't like to loose hope in its pure goals and its tendency   that based on and going on .After  a deep and careful contemplation, I wondered how we can find a pride and our asgardian identity and sense of belongings without home land and it is a matter of abstract idea ? as if we are proud and feel of belonging to , every asgardian would pay all his best fr om the bottom of our hearts to serve it and help each other in every aspect of our life  as a result we will have the greatest nation in the universe and keep our slogan high and be ideal for all humanity so I started thinking and looking for any inspirational  and practical ways to fulfill our asgardian identity and sense of belongings and still need your ideas and comments on.

Let's be on the top

ASGARDIA CITIZEN

For the original format of this, please click on here>

Following “ A City in Space ” titled dream, 1.5 – 2 years later, this time I am in Istanbul…

To my son John Unver’s  21 ^st Birthday…

It was exactly fifteen years before this event the Passport of World Citizenship had grabbed my attention...
I had first seen it among his prizes in the library of Sir Arthur C. Clarke at the Barnes Place in Colombo (Sri Lanka), during my first visit on December 20, 2002...

In response to the calls, I had already registered my name numerous times
for the rockets fired by NASA and the NEW HORIZONS in the following years…

Even though there is no possibility of me going to space or seeing it in person,
with the excitement and consolation with a probability that
my name will reach out to other planets and
another civilization might be seeing it in the future!

In pursuit of this and similar interests spread out over the years,
I had joined the international conference titled “ Outer Space Activities ”,
which lasted exactly a full-week at the UN Head Quarters in New York, In the last week of July 2015.

Today, by engaging on to the subjects of Space, Future and Humanity’s Unison in it
towards a collective conscience as a single human family and a better Future for us all
I pulled myself out of the day to day political news of the events that have been taking place
both in Turkey and the USA for some time and pulling down citizens’ courage and morale…
With the citizenship call and rights of Asgardia,
which has aimed on the path of becoming the first space nation
Aimed to be established with the principles of separation of power and secularism
I have already voted for its flag, emblem and the anthem.

Yes, even though it may not be possible to go and see Mars, Jupiter or other planets
for my generation and billions and billions of people in this lifetime on the planet Earth,
As a citizen of the planet Earth and Cosmos, I am certain that – at least – I will be witnessing it in my lifetime,
both the launching into space of the satellite, Asgardia-1 in winter of 2017
And acceptance by the United Nations as a new member state
within its Vision, Goals and the Constitution as “ The First Space Nation: Asgardia ”

Who knows, sometimes life can take a person
Far beyond what s/he ever can dream of…
