Here is already the planting 'bot in open-source programming. I've thought about putting this together for our garden this year. This could work almost anywhere, just need sunlight, and to overcome possible garden spaces. It'd be interesting to see how you could modify this system for orbiting space stations.

Low energy systems are obviously preffered, but it becomes a trivial concept once you start generating at scale - what does become an issue is thermal dissipation - space lacks matter for conduciton/convection, typically. That's the energies you want to try and keep low, then the thermal dissipation systems can have an easier time and scale smaller. If you've a cunning design for a electrochemical (electrocatalytic) biomass fuel cell, these might be able to assist in powering habitation facilities. But hopefully it can be engineered to be able to beam power anywhere. I'm still not overly clear what you'd mean by "planting machine".

>If any asgardian posts unnecessary topic,we should not say to him ,not to post, that topic may be useful to other asgardians They say the only stupid question is the unasked one. As there's no way to sure-fire know what the future holds, what is of no value to you today might be of use tomorrow. Archiving this would make more sense if we could search through it. It doesn't even matter if it's "wrong" - that's how most people learn, getting things wrong. It's a really effective way of learning apparently too. Once the question or principle is in the open, it can be corrected. The correction can definitely assist more than the original poster. The act of "shyness" or "nervousness" regarding putting it into public isn't a fault of the "community" but that of the one failing to post. Sensitivity to critique is really what should be adressed. It's quite a simple fact that not everyone gets everything right first attempt. Sometimes multiple attempts are required. In the same way perseverence assists success, so does acceptence and knowlege of limitations - and the simple fact that not everything you do can be golden. But once it's out there, the critique can generally provide for an outline of potential issues. Once you know why something will fail, you know what you would possibly need to address in order to rectify the situation. And even if the idea/concept/content of the post is just rediculously laughable - like space isn't an option because the world is flat and we will never be allowed into the domain of the ceiling cat - and only recieves general mockery - so what? What does it really matter the opinions of a few people connected by a few digital threads? >I'm certainly not going to talk about living off world on other planets, or space stations as many people seem to think (or hope) that we will. Hope is a nice thing. I prefer engineering myself, planning and design. Especially when, literally, your life depends on it. It's definitely viable, both alternate worlds and stations - even alternate solar systems is potentially on the long term cards. It's just a question of time. The only real argument IMHO is the actual timeframe. >My view is that we need to keep promoting the idea of Asgardia on a regular basis, talking about it between ourselves is not really going to bring it to the wider audience I'd like to avoid such, it'll help it not being seen as some sort of cult. Anything worth selling sells itself, you shouldn't need to advertise it. It doesn't actually need a wider audience, tbh, it's already wide enough for it's current purpose and the steady growth rate suggests it's going to be significant eventually. People interested in this sort of thing will find it. I did. You did. etc. People will certainly get bored and hop back to docile media, but that's not a genuine concern because it's not a popularity contest. The number of signups vs actual contribution to forums isn't an encouraging ratio considering. There will be those who view us a kooks and star-trek wannabe's. They are welcome to this veiwpoint - as I am welcome to mine these people simply lack vision. We certainly need active presence for those who should seek it, but that's unlikely to change that perception to those who have formed it. Ultimately, like all things, the proof is in the pudding. There's no need to "herd them in". To truely dream of and reach for the stars, then what we do will attract it's own attention.

Hi Ninad, Great topic for this forum. As we grow as a nation, we'll definitely have a vast amount of different views from all around the globe. I look forward to following this thread and see what others have to say. Just a note for those joining this thread to keep aware of the forum rules for posting: and to please remember to respect each other's views, and keep an open mind! Thanks, Leo!

My views ( are many but I won't bore you with the rest of them) is one of worry, the nation although a great idea and a grand endeavour is lacking in my humble opinion. Yes we all want it to get off of the ground so to speak and I'm certainly not going to talk about living off world on other planets, or space stations as many people seem to think (or hope) that we will. My view is that we need to keep promoting the idea of Asgardia on a regular basis, talking about it between ourselves is not really going to bring it to the wider audience, We need to keep the idea alive and in the minds of those not willing or able to join our community, to keep it registering on their consciousness that there are better and different ways of living than having to keep surviving on a day to day basis and with that just hoping things will get better. We as a community need to keep blowing the trumpets of change, letting others know we aren't going away, and that we aren't just a flash in the pan fad that will fade when everyone hoping to move into a space station tomorrow realise it isn't going to happen. People will get bored of hoping and go and find another social media community to join that's all thumbs (up), promises to make them popular and then falls by the wayside when a new app is released. That's my main concern is that without constant releases to the rest of the world about how the Asgardian community is doing we're all going to be seen as kooks and Star Trek wannabe's. We need to keep saying to the wider public " You can join us", but only if we push the boundaries and keep trying to get people to contribute to this wonderful idea either by joining us or at least signing up to the forum, citizen or not.
