"Человек всегда преодолевает трудности, идет за горизонт. Вышел из пещеры - мало, переплыл реку - мало, с континента на континент перешел через Берингов пролив, через океан переплыл - опять мало, перелетел на одномоторном самолете Атлантический океан - снова мало. Человек потому и человек, что его все время тянет за горизонт. И тем самым расширяется горизонт для человечества. А животному если есть еда, тепло, самка рядом, больше ничего и не надо"

Google Maps Street View usually amazes its users and sometimes even scares them.

This has happened with a photo captured by the Street View camera of a creepy creature. The image was taken on the streets of Nancy, in the northeast of France.

On one of the balconies of an apartment block there was a bicycle next to an open door. But that was not what captured the attention of the spectators.

A tall, brown figure, resembling an alien creature, was standing by the bike, looking directly at the camera. The creature had large piercing eyes and what appeared to be long hair.

It is believed that the figure was a kind of tribal statue, but to make things even more disturbing, Google has erased its image after it became viral on the network.

Piggy backing off of anime, can cosplay also be a form of expression? I also caught glimpses of steampunk, futuristic, and sci-fi being mentioned and I just want to say it all sounds great! Also, more on cosplay, I am currently a business major, specifically, I'm majoring in Entreprenuership, and I think a Cosplay Café business will be great! I am still brainstorming the concept, but if I could use Asgardia as a concept and base the café off of it, all the while promoting Asgardian's ever growing culture, recruit more citizens, and use the Asgardian currency, the conversion to Solar, to help the Asgardian economy grow, I'd be very much ablidged to do so! I think I will further discuss cosplay cafés in a new discussion forum I will compose titled Cosplay Café, so if you're interested, please keep a lookout! And I believe I can complete the above mentioned task if my burden was lightened, I am running as a candidate, and I believe if I were to become a leader, scholarships and grants would motivate me to achieve my dream of the above aforementioned goals for Asgardia! So, I invite you all to please invite your friends, family, and followers and vote for me! As a leader, I will promise to do my absolute best to promote the best interests of every Asgardian to make a better Asgardia!!!

HELLO FELLOW ASGARDIANS, MY NAME IS ANUPAM AND I SEEK A BETTER FUTURE FOR HUMANS IN TERMS OF SECURITY, SAFETY AND STABILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF ALL BEINGS IN THE SPACE NATION. THE IDEA OF OUR SPACE NATION IS TO MAKE SPACE A SAFER PLACE FOR HUMANS, BUT WE CAN ONLY ACHIEVE THIS GOAL IF WE ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR NATION. AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE NEED FOR:

1. SETTING UP OF A WORK GROUP FOR INITIATING CONVERSATION ON POSSIBLE THREATS.

2. IDENTIFYING THE KEY SECTORS OF SAFETY AND SECURITY IN SPACE

3. SETTING UP OF A NODAL AGENCY 'SPACE WOLVES' FOR ELIMINATION OF ANY ADVERSE POSSIBILITIES

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING HUMANS AND THEIR ACTIVITIES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME WHICH HAS GIVEN ME THE INSIGHT OF BOTH THE THIRD WORLD AND FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS. I FOUND LOOPHOLES IN THE WORKING OF SOCIETIES ACROSS GLOBE AS WELL AS DEEP MORAL AND ETHNIC DEGRADATION, CONTRIBUTING TO THE BIGGER PROBLEMS WHICH LATER BECOME A RECIPE OF DISASTER.

WITH THE RISE OF OUR BELOVED SPACE NATION, WE WILL BE ENTERING A NEW PHASE OF CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES. SAFETY OF OUR NATION WILL BE AN IMPORTANT ASPECT OF OUR JOURNEY.

Hello, everyone! My name is Giuseppe, I'm a 20-year-old student of cyber-security and programming.

I'm very glad to be a part of this beautiful project, and I've been following it since the very beginning.

Since I was a child I always wanted to go to space, and see all the awesome things our Universe has to offer. But this is not all we are doing. Going to space is not the priority (not for me at least), the priority, for now, is just that of finding a common ground on top of which to create our Unity.

I hope that through collaboration, solidarity, and hard work, we can make our new Nation prosper.

Thank you for hearing me out, and please leave a comment on what you think our priorities should be!

Long live and prosper, everyone!
