in every man, woman, and child there is potential. It is a cliche line, I understand. But this does not mean it is any less true than it sounds. Besides, the more one heres it, perhaps the more important it must sound as a result? This nation is full of potential, I would hate to see it go to waste by copying the steps of every other country that has existed before this.

We must be better.

We must be more.

We must be ASGARDIA.

Make Asgardia more than a slogan!
让Asgardia不仅仅是一句口号！

This is not some kind of online game. We WILL push it so that Asgardia really enters space. Not just with a cyberspace server satellite, but with real spaceships and colonists.

这不是一个网络游戏。我们 真的要 促成Asgardia真正进入太空。不能仅仅满足于一颗虚拟服务器卫星，而是要送真实的飞船和殖民者进入太空！

Right now, our nation's direct challenge is that we don't even have a full-fledged government. This is definitely a problem that needs to be dealt with. However, we shouldn't confine our pursuits to merely having a government. We should look even further into the future. What next after the election? Are we going to elect some internet personalities who are great at playing internet forum-based "nation games", or are we going to elect people who could REALLY advance our dreams of sending our citizens into space?

当前，我国面临的主要问题是，我们甚至缺乏一个成熟的政府。这个问题确实亟待解决。然而，我们不应当仅仅满足于此；我们要把眼光放得更长远。选举过后，下一步是什么呢？我们是要选举出来一些只会“论坛治国”的网红，还是选举出来 真正 能够推进我们的梦想、将我们的公民送入太空的人呢？

I believe that in order to achieve this novel goal, we need leaders with novel thinking. I might be young, but so is Asgardia; and we are facing novel challenges that has never before appeared in human history. We need young people who dare to dream. I believe that my innovative thinking and creativity could help me deal with Asgardia's future problems.

我坚信，要想实现全新的目标，必须有全新思维的领导者。我本人虽然年轻，但Asgardia也同样年轻；而今我们面临着人类历史上从未面对过的全新的挑战。我们需要敢于梦想的年轻人。我相信自己的创新思维和创造力让我能够解决Asgardia未来的问题。

But I also believe that we need people who are practical. I am practical. This is not just a claim based on my personality; I have practical knowledge and skills. I have gained a solid foundation in theoretical and experimental chemistry and biology. I am a professional Chinese-English translator. And now I am working for a multi-national business school, as a promoter of cooperation between China and Swiss innovation and entrepreneurship education.

但我也坚信，我们需要脚踏实地的人。我自己就很脚踏实地。这不仅仅是我的性格；我有非常实在的学识。我在化学和生物学领域有坚实的理论和实验基础。我还是一名专业的中英翻译。如今我为一家跨国的商学院工作，致力于促进中国与瑞士之间的创业创新教育合作。

Last but not least, I believe that if we want to create history, we would need people who know history. And philosophy. Despite being educated as a scientist and then went into the business-education sector, I have always been reading books on history and philosophy since I was very young. I have also been thinking a lot about humanity -the past, the present, the future.

最后，我也同样相信：要想创造历史，首先要熟悉历史。当然，还要熟悉哲学。虽然我是理科生出身，后来转向商业教育领域，但我从小都在阅读历史和哲学方面的书籍。我也时常在思考人类的过去、现在和未来。

Entering space is our common dream, as well as a great purpose for all mankind. We need to treat it seriously. Vote me, and I promise that I will fulfill my serious duties. Thank you!

进入太空是我们共同的梦想，也是全人类的伟大事业。我们需要认真对待。希望大家投我一票，我一定不负使命！

There are a total of eight planets in our solar system, of which the smallest and the closest planet to the Sun is Mercury, named after a messenger Roman deity, as this planet travels very fast in the sky. In about 88 days, it completes one of its revolutions. Mercury is said to be the second most dense planet after the Earth, where there is an abundance of minerals. It is a planet mainly composed of heavy metals and huge rock formations. Scientists say that the surface of Mercury is very similar to the surface of the Earth's moon. Life on the planet Mercury is not possible at all, because the atmosphere here is weather-free. That is, the atmosphere of this planet does not have seasonal events like Earth. Its average temperature remains between -173 to 427 ° C, which can freeze or burn any organism in an instant. Like the Earth, tectonic plates are active under the surface of Mercury, due to which seismic events continue to occur on this planet. The presence of some ancient lava fields on the surface here suggests that there was volcanic activity on Mercury in the past. The planet Mercury is also called the morning or evening star, because it appears in the sky immediately before sunrise and just after sunset. It is one of the five planets in the solar system that can be seen with the naked eye in the sky. Apart from Mercury, the other four planets are Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. One day on Mercury equals 176 days on Earth. According to scientists, this planet is constantly shrinking. They say that the planet has become seven kilometers smaller, today than when the surface of Mercury was hardened four billion years ago. Large pits have been found on the surface of Mercury. Some of them are hundreds of kilometers long and up to three kilometers deep. These pits are believed to have been caused by asteroids and comets colliding with Mercury related astronomical events. Mercury has no natural satellite or moon of its own. Apart from this, strange wrinkles are found on the surface here. It is believed that as the planet began to shrink due to excessive heat on Mercury, the surface here became wrinkled. These wrinkles are known as 'lobate scarps' and these wrinkles can be up to a mile high and hundreds of miles long.

Me pergunto se, na realidade, o meu pensamento e frustração, não é o sentimento também de outros Asgardianos, mas se assim como eu você também não aguenta ficar parado, mesmo que você ache que não tem nenhuma coisa a oferecer, tenha a certeza de que você ainda assim pode contribuir. Não sou candidata, não pretendo (assim como já vi) pegar um cargo alto. Só tenho palavras bonitas, um amplo conhecimento em filmes, jogos, séries e animes. Mas nunca deixando de estudar para me aperfeiçoar para um futuro digno da humanidade. nunca deixando de acreditar no impossível, como dizia Walt Disney "Eu vou sempre pelo que parece ser impossível, afinal a concorrência é menor." Então se praticamente não temos "concorrência", se não estamos nessa para sermos melhores que ninguém. e se somos livres para ir e vir, pensar e agir, porque não pegamos tudo o que temos, pra colocar em prática hoje? Posso ser apenas uma menina de 20 anos que não sabe o que está dizendo, e que na verdade os nossos parlamentares assim como nosso Chefe da Nação podem estar de fato desenvolvendo coisas geniosas para nós. Mas ainda me pergunto, e quanto a nós, o que estamos fazendo para oferecer a eles, ou melhor o que estamos fazendo para merecer estas coisas geniosas? É claro que uma estação espacial não se constrói da noite para o dia e apenas com vontade e palavras bonitas. Mas entendam meu ponto, se hipoteticamente já estivesse tudo pronto para amanhã entrarmos num programa espacial de adaptação no espaço, para embarcarmos mês que vem na estação. O que faríamos quando chegassemos lá? Tiraríamos selfies e nos abraçaríamos chorando vendo como a Terra é bonita? Mas e depois? faríamos tudo o que já fazemos em Terra?
