Dear Asgardian Brothers! Tomorrow 04-04, we remember the 50 years of the death of the "Man who had a dream". Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the perssonalities that had great influence in my formation. I do not need to tell you how much this man has been or should be important to all who fight for equality in the broadest sense. Let's take this date to reflect a bit on how hard we are actually doing to make Martin Luther King Jr's dream a reality. There are few people on the face of the earth who are worthy of good memories. This home is one of them. In a society where we used to construct statues for criminals and Genocides, and give names to Streets, Parks and Avenues, honoring Hypocrites without character, we Asgardians must express our respect for the ideals of this enlightened human being named Martin Luther King Jr. Lucio Costa https://asgardia.space/en/elections/candidates/Portuguese/25668/

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/

I imagine Asgardia would like to be more progressive than the rest of the world. Of course many Asgardians have their own interests, own properties, and have their own jobs. As for Asgardian interests, would it not make sense to interact using the technology at our disposal. Do we really need expensive and cumbersome fascilities to progress? I think it would be far more efficient, especially in the beginning to contract with other organisations that already have excellent facilities at their disposal. This will free up Asgardians to be much more mobile and agile. Asgardians might have to take quite some time to consider which institutions are still relevant, and in which form they should exist. As a potential new nation there are so many opportunities to improve, and one such improvement may very well be doing away with wasteful mechanisms associated with a physical presence in the form of large and impressive facilities that are not necessary.

Será a si!? Habrá que ir pensando en comprar en un futuro una tierra en asgardia? ?? Eso me desilusiona poco..pensé que seríamos todos trabajando por un bien común sin pensar en el dinero y donando trabajo y tus talentos. .Veo mucha polític que se va infiltrando poco a poco...Y eso si no se ..Controla será otra tierra 2..Llena de .Materialismo ..Se necesita dinero? Pero espero .Sin.ser. el centro de todo. .Abrazos!! marina boriosi >Will it? Will we have to think about buying a land in asgardia in the future? ? That disappointed me little. I thought we would all be working for a common good without thinking about money and donating work and your talents. . I see a lot of politics that is gradually infiltrating ... And that if not .. Control will be another land 2..Lena of .Materialism .. Do you need money? But I hope. The center of everything. .Hugs!!

My sister had one, until my parents "killed" it as punishment by sticking it in the freezer to drain the battery. The closest I ever came to owning one was the old-school PokeWalker that was used with HeartGold and SoulSilver on the DS. These days though, you're more likely to find people with pet robots such as the Anki Vector.

Well since a Satellite is to be launched shortly, clearly we have an astrophysics team already. I agree that all Asgardians should take a course in basic celestial mechanics and a living in space 101. What would be interesting is for us Asgardians to start properly looking at platonic solids, sacred geometry, crystal technologies. Currently, public astrophysics and science advancements have been fairly limited and constrained. 95% of the universe is considered either dark energy or dark matter. Clearly, we need a renaissance in physics that can bring spiritual understanding and sacred geometry back in line with science. Doing this is going to be the key to zero point devices that will be critical to our understanding of the universe and how to live comfortably among the stars.

Wouldn't serious Asgardians already be comfortable with orbital dynamics? I was plotting slingshots in simulators when I was 8... Strikes me as the sort of thing to be most useful for those who aren't as serious. It'd certainly make sense to feature, at least in it's most basic forms, as part of the educational system - once we actually have an educational system, ofc. Ideally, we would place station(s) into belts that wouldn't require maintainence, but not all locations would be entirely viable to afford such a position. Either way, lacking propulsion at all is a seriously flawed concept. Especially when it could only take moving a few meters to the left to avoid an impact. RCS is long term unsuitable IMHO. I'd not expect an upload facility for some time. Lets assume you could trust random users to not fill it with "amusing" cat videos and other plagues of the interwebs, and to say you'd afford each user a 5GB qouta, at current populations that'd need to eat 2.75PB of HD. Just under $130000USD for HD's, and racks to put them in. Then there's the associated hosting costs for these machines... However, one of the 2TB drives(predicted payload) in the machine powering this site could be dedicated to storages for "collaborational tools" rather trivially, and the tools themselves would allow for creation of various documents(pictures, .pdf, text files, speadsheets, databases etc) and additionally allow for real-time collaborative editing - As I type into the document, what I type is on your screen in realtime. Allowing for multiple users to compose the same document rapidly facilitating developments. 2TB isn't a lot of space, nowadays, but it should serve to hold the majority of the documents we'd actually need to be working on, about now.
