I consider myself a latecomer to Asgardia, being at a place where communication is difficult. I never heard of Asgardia until I saw a random post on Facebook last April, 2017. The concept of building a space nation caught my attention. I dreamed of living in space one day, ever since I was a young boy. I was up for the challenge, not to get myself into space, but to build a nation whose citizens are united regardless of race and beliefs, a nation whose citizens will have equal rights regardless of their status and a nation whose citizens settle out their petty differences and working together. I hope that one day, I’m going to see that nation rise, whether or not I’m going into space. Out of unity comes peace, with peace comes progress.

One Humanity, One Unity. Long live the citizens of Asgardia!

Today, our security depends exclusively on space. The creation of a sanctuary force becomes essential for this to be possible. Asgardia might just that. In my fifth book, dated 2017, titled "The Civilization of Fear - the World as We Never Imagined It," I also wrote about the economy of the next land.

Asgardia, the utopia that comes from space, is at the service of peace and prosperity for all human beings. I believe that this will be only the first example of many that will rise in the path of building human communities of peace in space, preventing the emergence of new wars by space territories, thus opposing new forms of colonization and economic monopoly.

Personally I believe that creating a demilitarized and free scientific base in space will be clearly beneficial to future generations. For this reason, Portugal will have to play an important role in the peaceful use of space. I also mention that the area of the country to which I am the candidate best represents the Portuguese maritime epic of the last centuries, as well as many of its navigators. Although with another spirit, we will take part of this responsibility.

The hope that comes from space

Governments, economists and corporations are beginning to observe - and to think of - strategies to deal not with the impact, but with the unfolding that the news of the discovery of extraterrestrial life will bring to the present social arrangement of the world. This was stated by  Tim Appenzeller, editor of the scientific journal Nature , during the World Economic and Social Forum in Davos in 2013. This reading drew attention to the enormous potential of the theme in its socio-economic aspect, and even to create a model of exopolitical analysis of the architecture of power, also described in my aforementioned work "The Civilization of Fear". This vision means the possibility of a new economy based on a philosophical, juridical and scientific aspect oriented to the common good of all the peoples of the universe.

These words are only the desire to prospect a reflection on the inevitable approach to an exo-civilization - reasons that encourage me personally to apply for these elections.

It is also more evident that such a challenge has as an objective the resistance of the tyranny of distance between myself and other worlds, other humanities.

Welcome to Porto!

Duyarlı bir genç olarak dünyamız, evrenimiz ve geleceğimiz hakkında bir çok fikre sahibim. Sadece dünyamızın geçici, devamılılığı olmayan kaynaklarını harcayarak insanoğlunun devamlılığını sağlamaktansa yeni kaynaklar keşfedip devamlılığı sürdürülebilir kaynaklara yoğunlaşıp ve bu kaynakları sadece Dünyamızla sınırlı tutmayarak evrenin bir çok yerlerine yayabileceğimiz görüşündeyim. Burada sadece kaynaklar değil insanoğlunun ufkunun açılmasında da bir çok fikre sahibim. Ne demiş atalarımız: “İstikbal göklerdedir.”-MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK
