How do we see the future of our nation evolve?

I joined this nation in the hopes of finding people of equal mind. People who think that earth is not our final destination as humans. As earth is finite, we need to find our home amoung the stars. Asgardia is my hope for the future of humans who think. I would like to see a nation build on reason, where the principles of scientific progress and research are our first priority. Because only by progressing can we find our homes amoung the Stars. So i aspire to help anyway i can. I will listen to people who are smarter then me and help where i can.

As it seems attractive to follow the at moment found exoplanets route for possible space journeys, i would personally go the other way around. Why do i think that. Well, the milkyway turns to the right i suppose, so if we would follow that way in regard to the exoplanets we would end up closer to the center with no way out due to the gravity from the spinning center of the disk. Also we would not make much progress as we have to over-win the spinning speed of the galaxy to get somewhere. If we would go the opposite route we would make faster displacements while we could also choose to stay in the more open space for possible exit routes towards possible strong radiated galaxy arms. Also while the galaxy grows older the outward worlds are all going to the inside and maybe we could find younger exoworlds at the borders of the galaxy arms where it should be cooler and with lesser radiation.

Grtz, Dirk.

In these days, the feeling of technology changes the human world are becoming more accelerated.

Especially i'm as a ITer,  always pursuit spirits of changing the world, to use own minor technical skills, like coding on a computer, web, to do something different, which might be the most cost effective way. With IT, we can create new way of working, to embedding standard process, Or to governance on human credits.

Since BlockChain technology getting more mature and popular - try to imaging we could utilize the technology to build Asgardia fellows's credit, to build Asgardia to be most proud of nation.

Do you have similar thoughts?

"Доктор открыто и добродушно улыбнулся и шепнул: "Пойдем!"

Рин взяла его за руку, и Шельса повел ее по лабиринту коридоров, где на дверях висели таблички с надписями на непонятных языках, где сновали и ходили разнообразные существа, от одного вида которых мозг взрывался, и здравый смысл улетал, хлопая крыльями. Наконец они пришли в темный зал, куда их впустила «живая» дверь.

– Это смотровая площадка, – пояснил Шельса, ведя Рин на некий помост перед экраном высотой примерно в десять человеческих ростов. Шельса встал позади Рин и взял ее за плечи. Ей стало некомфортно, но она стерпела это прикосновение.

– Готова? – спросил доктор. Рин неопределенно пожала плечами. Готова или нет – какая разница? Как будто это что-то поменяет...

– Доступ уровня А, Мьяма Шельса. Открыть створки!

– Доступ подтвержден, – сказал мягкий и приятный женский голос, а затем черный экран разъехался в стороны.

Ее глазам предстал тот самый бело-голубой полукруг из фильма и тьма над ним. Картинка медленно-медленно перемещалась, они словно бы плыли над этим голубым простором, покрытым белыми пятнами. Рин сердцем чуяла, что смотрит на что-то значительное, но не понимала, на что именно, пока Шельса не шепнул: «Это ваша планета, Рин. Мы летим над океаном».

Тут ее мелко затрясло. Она не глядя отодвинула доктора и подошла ближе к экрану. Уперлась ладонями в холодное стекло. В груди перехватило дыхание, Рин словно и не требовался воздух, лишь бы только смотреть и смотреть на это… Корабль плыл над синим океаном, тихо подползая к белому. Такому же бескрайнему, только здесь местами появлялись странные мелкие волны.

– Это континент, – вполголоса объяснил Шельса, подойдя к ней. – Вот Канбери, а дальше – Соринтия. Здесь зима, кругом снег. А это – горные хребты.

– Звезды светлые! – прошептала Рин, не в силах даже моргнуть, словно сделай она это, и все исчезнет. – Звезды светлые!

Доктор за ее спиной тихо засмеялся.

А Рин продолжала вглядываться в бескрайние просторы родной планеты, еще не до конца осознавая, что видит. Только когда из ниоткуда полился неведомый звук, похожий на клекот птицы и глухой стук барабана, на гонги в старинных монастырях и пение струн чирато – народного инструмента аиргов, до Рин наконец дошло.

И она захлебнулась вскриком. Упала на колени, зажав рот ладонями. Смотрела неотрывно на плывущие облака над океаном, на реки, словно вены протянутые по телу земли. Смотрела, смотрела и молча рыдала, не смея упустить изо рта ни звука, ни вздоха. На ресницах повисли слезинки, но пелена не закрыла взор, наоборот – она видела так ясно, как никогда ранее. Спроси ее кто-нибудь о причине слез, Рин бы не смогла ответить. Просто все ее существо потрясло осознание той величественной картины дома, от которого она оказалась оторвана.

– Рин? – позвал ее Шельса. – Вы в порядке?

– Она же живая… – вырвалось из ее рта, стоило ей отнять ладони. – Она же живая! Она такая прекрасная! Я… Это же мой дом! Это мой дом…"

Namaste, Asgardians!

My topic for today is why we need a place like Asgardia.  Warning, I might get controversial here. Your comments are always welcome, I just ask that you keep them civil!  This is a dialog and friendly discussion.

As most of us know, this world is in a major crisis. We have two idiots, one in Washington and one in Pyongyang, threatening to blow each other up with Nuclear Weapons, we have extremist terrorist groups (that do not reflect the peace loving people of the same religions -- these extremists are hate mongers and pretty dictators), wars, droughts, disasters and climate change.

Greed, Hate, Stupidity, Intolerance and Power, are literally killing Humanity!

Now, more than ever, a concept such as Asgardia is sorely needed!  Even if it takes another hundred years before we are living in space, the concept, the idea and Core beliefs the Asgardia are very much in need on this Planet!  Over 100,000 of us; from different backgrounds, countries, cultures and beliefs, have said, "NO!, this can not go on as it has been!" We are saying that right here and right now we refuse to let Hate and Fear, Intolerance and Bullying rule our lives! No one is above me and no one is below me!  We are equals , striving for the good of everyone !  We, the people of the Earth, united , are fed up with this nonsense! So, we are forming a new Nation and if you are lucky, we might take you with us!

I always thought that perhaps I was strange. I don't hate anyone, I never have. I don't care where you're from, the language you speak, the color of your skin, your culture or whether you are LGBTQIA!  Nope, I don't. What I ask myself when I meet a person is, are they kind?  Are they compassionate? Do they have a sense of humor? Do they try to help others? Do they stand up for what is right, just and fair? That's my measuring stick.  Be nice to me, and I will be nice to you.  Instead of getting all upset, learn!  Example: I am fascinated with Japan and their culture! It is very different from my own. None the less, I would love to learn more about the Japanese people!  I am an anime fan, like some of there foods ... might try some others ... nope. lol If I visited a Shinto Shrine, I would be respectful, I think they are beautiful and I wouldn't dream of offending my Japanese friends!  That is how it should be. Learn about each other. Do not be offend when a tourist does something you find offensive. Politely tell them what is wrong and I am sure they will apologize! Help out a tourist when they are trying to pay for something and don't understand the currency! Be courteous!

We need to all shake hands and smile, not build stupid walls and say you stay over there and we will stay over here!  It will take all of us if we are ever to build an new and better world!  If you want to hate on someone ... here I am, take your best shot!  I am: Female, a lesbian/asexual, a Druid Bard.  Hate all you want, I have heard it all before!  But instead, I would rather you use these labels: She is helpful, caring, compassionate, trustworthy, loyal, and funny!  Oh, look, she has similar hobbies!  she writes, she sings, she is a P!nk fan ;-), she like RPG games, she reads, she loves music, she loves growing things, she is and information junkie and love to learn, and she loves travel!  Yes, I would much rather you think of me in those terms .  I am a nice person, all you have to do, is get to know me.  I am equally sure, my Reader, that you are a nice person too!  I just have to get to know you.
