Public Update – 3I/ATLAS Observation & Contingency Scenario Dean Bordode, Citizen / Concerned Observer Recent observations of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS highlight a very low-probability—but potentially high-consequence—scenario: the presence of an advanced interstellar probe or artificial object. Even at an estimated probability of ≈0.1 %, the potential consequences for humanity are existential. Observation Efforts I have submitted requests for thermal-IR, polarimetric, γ-ray, and radio observations of 3I/ATLAS to relevant agencies. The goal is to detect any intrinsic emission >10²⁴ erg s⁻¹ or anomalous Δv > 0.1 km/s, which could indicate artificial activity. While current evidence suggests 3I/ATLAS is likely a natural comet, rational precaution requires monitoring for any anomalies, including unusual light emission, trajectory deviations, or behavior near the Sun. Policy & Precaution I have also formally requested that all terrestrial kinetic conflicts, live-fire exercises, and nuclear tests be temporarily suspended. This preserves propellant, munitions, and political bandwidth for potential exo-atmospheric and orbital defense, should anomalous activity be confirmed. Key Facts Trajectory Highlights: Near Mars: 0.19 AU (Oct 3, 2025) Perihelion: 1.36 AU, just inside Mars’ orbit (Oct 29, 2025) Near Earth: 1.80 AU (Dec 19, 2025) Near Jupiter: 0.36 AU (Mar 16, 2026) Orbit: Nearly retrograde, inclined ~5° to the ecliptic. Observation Window: The critical monitoring period remains 21 Nov–5 Dec 2025, during which any Δv ≥ 0.5 km/s or IR flare ≥ 10²⁴ erg s⁻¹ would trigger a reassessment. Scenario Summary First interstellar objects may act as scouts, mapping biosignatures and testing planetary defenses. Observed anomalies, such as brightness changes or Sun-hiding maneuvers, are currently explainable by natural phenomena, but remain under study. Precautionary monitoring ensures humanity is prepared if unusual activity is confirmed. Bottom Line Probability of a hostile or artificial object is extremely low, but the consequence is existential. Scientific observation, transparency, and precautionary defense planning are essential. Public and scientific awareness helps ensure rational, evidence-based decision-making.

This animation depicts the CRISPR-Cas9 method for genome editing – a powerful new technology with many applications in biomedical research, including the potential to treat human genetic disease. Feng Zhang, a leader in the development of this technology, is a faculty member at MIT, an investigator at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, and a core member of the Broad Institute.

We don't talk about it much, we just do it. Did you know knot tying—essential for everything from securing cargo to performing surgery—is the foundational skill for Space Athletics, presenting unique challenges and advantages beyond Earth's gravity? Our first microgravity research mission with Space Kids Global successfully explored SpaceLace behavior in varied gravity environments, with Space Reporters at mission control and commercial astronauts Sharon and Marc Hagel (the first astronaut/Astrolete® duo) aboard Blue Origin Mission 28. Stay tuned as we develop new playing fields, new sports, and the Space Athletics Playbook. Because in space, no terrestrial sport plays the same way.

I am Very Proud and Honored to be part of the Asgardia Space Nation because I believe it to be the beginning of humanities movement into the cosmos. For humanity already has all the technology to make this into reality with one exception, rocket propulsion can never be used to build a civilization in space. We need a method of flying into space that is not dependent on the physics of mass displacement, even the latest generation of Ion Engines still require reaction mass and are thus still limited by the requirements of fuel. It is my hope that enabling technologies, will begin to emerge into public knowledge through new discovery or declassification of old ones – Even though Asgardia could never exist under the Tyranny of the Rocket Equation, curious devices like the M-Drive have certainly proved that the Space Nation does indeed have a future!
