To represent all equally and work hard for a better future for our generations. My goals are to help build this community by uniting all Asgardians starting from Asgardia Ghana. Bringing All the Asgardia citizens in Ghana together to build a strong community. Joining together with all the citizens to solve all the problems that arises. Education and unity is very important to me. I will work with the authorities and the citizens of Asgardia in order to help educate ourselves to the level which will help Asgardia as a whole. I have an Asgardia Ghana Whatsapp group and who ever wants to be part of it should contact me on +233501193022. Running for the position of a Debutant.

The greatest love, enthusiasm and joy to all you Asgardians moves me every day to get involved in our great asgardia nation, hopefully sooner than later we all have our Asgardian passport. I would like to thank all those beings who have voted for me, of different nationalities. A big hug and happiness and health for our new year that begins to run in our great space nation asgardia.

I said that I would going to release this on audio and text on the 5th.  But as things would have it, I am unable to finish editing the audio.   I'm not going to be here much because I'm grading papers and other teacher stuff.  This should keep you busy.  Here it is, a little long but worth the wait.

Hello fellow Asgardians.
My name is Dennis Shoemaker and I'm running for a District 1 parliament position.  At this time I'm going to expand on my view of Asgardia, and my road map to the future.  People have asked me, "Why do you think we need the Asgardia space nation?"  If you ask me, the answer is a simple one.  We humans of planet Earth want to go to space.  Many of us dream of seeing the stars.  Looking out the window of a space station and seeing the Earth.  Many of us have grown up watching movies, and TV programs about space, we even have real space traveling heroes such as Neil Armstrong and Valentina Tereshkova.

Even now there are more and more people going to space and some through private funding.
The reality for the people of Earth is that if we are not careful about space explanation the future of humanity in space could be bleak. When we the everyday person gets to go to space, everything we see could be company owned.  Or only the elite will be able to afford the trip to space.  Companies will try profitize every speck of space dust they come in to contact with.  That is the current reality of space for the people of Earth.

That is why we need Asgardia the first Space Nation.  Humanity must claim space in the name of the people of Earth, not a company.  Asgardia is the key that will unlock space for all humanity, not only those who have the most wealth.  The door will be open to exploration into the farthest reaches of space,  humanity will leave the cradle of Earth and seek its future in the limitless reaches of space.

That is a beautiful dream.  I believe it is realistic, but we have hurdles to overcome that might be more difficult than booster rockets coming back to Earth and landing on their own.  As it is we have 3 main problems that stand in our way.
The first, and potentially the most difficult will be water.  How do we maintain a water supply for a small community living in space.   Now think about all the things you use water for... That's a long list right. Well that is only part of the problem.  Because all of those people who need water to drink also need food to eat.  You may be thinking about the astronauts on the International Space Station, which is a good start, but we are talking about many more people.  We must be able to provide all of them with food, this means we must be able to store and produce enough food to sustain the whole station.
Humanity has proven that we can build in space so it’s possible.  However our last and possibility the most difficult challenge to overcome before we can live in space is gravity.  Once we can create an environment that is accommodating to humans we will be able to live in space indefinitely.  I don’t know how we will solve all of these problems aerospace engineers are getting close if you can believe companies building space technology.
What I want to talk about is the living in space part of this project.  Once we are satisfied with the answers to main problems Asgardia will be left with a whole host of smaller problems.  These are the kind of problems that are common when you want to move a group of people to a new location and have them still function in their normal jobs.

Think about your day, all of the people you interact with and the job you do.  Now move it all to another city.  What do you do first?  It's going to be a logistical nightmare.  But one that is possible to manage.

What I would propose is that while the aerospace engineers are working on how to build a city in space, we research things such as 3D printed food.  It’s already a real thing, Google it I'm sure you will be surprised.  We will need experts in hydroponics to make our city self-sustainable with water recycling systems.  A lot of progress has been made there as well....Google search Biosphere 2. Humanity is on the cusp of taking the first step off of planet Earth, but before we start packing we should practice a little first.

I would propose that we start development and planning of an Asgardian Earth Station. The Earth Station would be the test and training station before moving to space.  The goal would be to make it completely self sustainable. This means that it could be located almost anywhere on Earth.  The host country would have to be a Democratic country and Asgardia could assist in educating the youth and providing healthcare to the local population.  By creating our Earth station would enable us to solve the problems that arise from living in a self-sustained environment with a large number of people.  This would allow Asgardia to establish colony that be able to leave Earth already adapted to living in such an environment as they will encounter in space.  Thus limiting the amount of adjustment needed for living on a space station.

The Earth Station would also allow Asgardia to put in to practice the laws and systems that will govern our stations that will someday be scattered throughout space.  Some of the practices such as the UBI and education, healthcare, housing and financial systems.  The research on food production and 3D food printing, everyday uniforms which are 100 percent recyclable with the recycling and production all done in one location.  There are many ideas that could be explored to help those who will living in space one day.  By consolidating our resources we could maximize our research and production exponentially and be a key player in the future of space technology.

Another key benefit would be the Earth Station could serve as the seat of government for the space nation on Earth handling all Earth diplomatic functions.  It could also be our embassy he on Earth. This would allow Asgardia to have territory here on Earth which would strengthen Asgardia’s position with the UN.  By strengthening our position with the UN it would also send a clear message to the rest of the world that Asgardia is serious about becoming the first space nation and by doing so improve our chances of collaborating with other governments or companies for the development of technology.
If elected to the Parliament this will be my goal.  My realistic vision with a roadmap to becoming Asgardia the space nation.
Thank you. Have a good day, good night.

Along with an interview of our Asgardian Member of Parliament Jonathan Tate , the Director of the Space Guard Centre in Wales, the article comes in the aftermath of NASA reporting last week that a "space rock, several metres in size, exploded about 16 miles above the earth’s surface with ten times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb."

The picture up above :

Valentina Vladimirovna Terechkova

( Russian : Валентина Владимировна Терешкова ), born on March 6 , 1937 in Maslennikovo , the district of Allayev in Yaroslavl oblast , is the first woman to fly in space, and is the first Soviet cosmonaut , thanks to her flight from 16 to June 19 , 1963 .

Valentina Terechkova remains to this day the only woman to have made a solo trip in space and the youngest cosmonaut.

After the successful flight of Yuri Gagarin , Sergei Korolev , the father of the Soviet space program, has the idea of sending a woman into space.

Textile worker at age 18 , she is chosen from over 400 women candidates to become, under the guidance of Yuri Gagarin, the first woman in space.

Hello Asgardia!

We have a couple of public service announcements for you today.

The team has gone through the satellite files and removed some due to violations of copyright and trademark. Please check your upload to see if it was part of this action. If so, you have until July 20 to upload a file to be included on Asgardia-1 at launch. Otherwise, it will not be uploaded until November when it is deployed.

We are very concerned by the amount of petitions that we have had to reject due to petitioners not submitting properly. Some of the most common mistakes are:

- no real name and picture attached to the petitioners profile
- not listing who the petition will need to be sent to once it has been completed

Please see the Head of Community Affairs blog post on Effective Petitioning that was posted for the community's information here: https://asgardia.space/…/asgard…/7163-effective-petitioning/

It is important for the community to be able to use this system so we ask the petitioners to please follow these steps so their voices and opinions can be heard.

Thank you!

Just to let everyone know.  I do not prolifically post on social media.  Personally I believe that commenting for the sake of having a comment is not very constructive.  If I do not have anything constructive to add to the discussion I do not post.  When I do I take part in the conversation.  I hope you understand.

Just as a bit of background I have been a member of Asgardia from when it was first announced.  I then volunteered at an event in Montreal where I had the pleasure of meeting some of the Officials such as Ms Lena De Winne and Dr Jakhu.  I was very honored when they reached out to me and asked me to be on the independent voting commission to verify the votes on the Constitution.   Some of you may have seen some of my camera work on the Facebook live stream of that event.... it was the shaky part.  :)

I decided to start running at this time because I have been watching the discussions and seeing many people drop out and the conversations becoming less and less positive.  As someone who believes strongly in what Asgardia is trying to achieve I took a moment to consider hard the responsibility I would be stepping up for.  After much conversation with my family I decided to put put my name in to run to become a member of Parliament.

Asgardia has a long and hard road ahead of it. I believe that if we all roll up our sleeves and work together as a team to put the effort in we can build the Asgardia that the world needs.  We need to be realistic and positive, making progress towards our Asgardia goals.

I hope you will vote for me and we will continue on this journey together.

Have you been wondering what's happening in Asgardia and feeling it is difficult to find information about what is going on in our Nation?

To step up and take action and help all and everyone who's interested in keeping up, I've decided to create an independent and non-official News Website about the Space Nation!

It is coming up soon and if you want to be informed first hand about it, I invite you to follow this link: http://bit.ly/AsgardianNews

The website is "under construction" and I assure you, I'm working on it day and night!

As I proposed in a petition for a manufacturing plant, utilizing 3d printing to manufacture items for Asgardian citizens. I have Officially purchased land in a small town in Nebraska, in the United States the land is limited in the ability due to local zoning codes. But expanded production is very possible if done appropriately. This is as I know the first land purchase on earth for asgardian purposes.

ONE HUMANITY ONE UNITY!!!

In Asgardia, we are part of a democracy; This means that the power is in the hands of the people through their right to vote.

Citizens vote for a representative that will hear their views and champion their cause. These representatives form something called a ‘Parliament’ and those elected representatives are called “Members of Parliaments” or MPs.

The ‘Parliamentary’ system can be traced far back into Ancient times when we were still tribal communities. These communities had councils whose decisions were scrutinised by village elders. And in ancient Athens male citizens over the age of 30 were freely allowed to participate in discussions and debates.

Today, in whatever form we find it in, the general idea of a parliament is to make sure that the citizens have a say in how the country is being run and that the ruling body or government is held accountable. It ensures that no one-person is in charge or above the law.

What is a Minister?

To understand the work of a member of Parliament and to understand why they’re important, we first need to briefly examine Asgardia’s Governmental structure.

In Asgardia, our leader is the Head of the Nation, Dr, Igor Ashurbeyli and he will select 12 Cabinet Ministers who will be responsible for coordinating the work of each Ministry.

A Ministry will have oversight of certain national functions. For example, the Ministry of Finance might be responsible for national budgets and spending. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs might be responsible for our international relations and dealing with matters of citizenship.

These ministers will make proposals, draft budgets and create new laws which will then be passed to Parliament for debate and review.

What is a Member of Parliament?

A member of parliament is someone that has been chosen by the citizens to represent their needs and to challenge the governments work and their main tasks revolve around:

1. Debating Issues
2. Making Laws
   1. Scrutinise proposed bills
   2. Request research.
   3. Raise the concerns of their supporters
   4. Debate & Propose changes.
   5. Amend the bill
   6. Vote on the bill
3. Looking at how the taxes are spent
   1. Scrutinising their use
   2. Proposing better options
   3. Raising the views and concerns of their supporters
4. Challenge the government’s work
   1. Debate the government’s work
   2. Raise concerns of the citizens
   3. Form committees to scrutinise the government
   4. Create reports with findings

A member of Parliament represents you

The primary focus of your elected members of parliament is to ensure that your voice is heard and that the views of the people are represented and acted upon and most of the time, you will be able to contact your representative directly by email, phone or other means.

In some established parliaments, it’s also possible to arrange to visit your MP in person to discuss your concerns with them, or to lobby them directly in their governmental headquarters, though something like this in a decentralised nation like Asgardia probably won’t be possible.

Participation & Communication are Vital.

When it comes to making new laws, deciding spending or establishing policy, the members of Parliament will be on hand to make sure that what the Government wants to do doesn’t go against the will of the people.

If you have not contacted your representative to explain your needs and feelings, then when laws and proposals are up for debate and scrutiny, they might not be able to represent you well.

Knowing who your representatives and contacting them are key to exercising your democratic powers.

How do I receive an ID?

Upon joining Asgardia, one gets a certificate. Once they accept the Constitution and vote for the national symbols (the flag, the anthem and the coat of arms), they are entitled to receive an ID card, a formal document in the form of a digital card.

Make sure to keep your ID number private as it provides identification of your person and allows you to receive the services Asgardia will provide. More details on how to receive an ID will be available in the future. You will have to show up in person with valid documents verifying your identity.

1. Signing up for the website makes you a Follower, you get a certificate but nothing more. 2. filling in all the required fields, accepting the constitution and paying the citizenship fee makes you a Resident - this makes you eligible to get a Resident-ID card Initially, this is digital. Physical versions of this card are being developed and the process on how to obtain them will be released soon. 3. Some people are exempt from paying the fee (first 100,000 people who signed up, people who have already donated etc.) 3. The resident-ID card does not allow you to interface with the banking systems of Asgardia - However; your personal ID number will be used as a unique identifier in the future (similar to the social security number in the US.) and should be kept private to ensure your identity and the security of your government services when they're rolled out.

Kimliğimi nasıl alırım?

Asgardia'ya katıldıktan sonra, bir sertifika alır . Anayasayı kabul edip ulusal sembolleri (bayrak, marşı ve arması) oylamaları durumunda, bir kimlik kartı, resmi bir belge, bir dijital kart biçiminde almaya hak kazanırlar.

Kimlik numaranızı kişisel kimliğinizi sağladığından ve Asgardia'nın sağlayacağı hizmetleri almanızı sağladığından emin olun. Bir kimliğin nasıl alınacağı ile ilgili daha fazla ayrıntı gelecekte sunulacak. Kimliğinizi doğrulayan geçerli belgelerle şahsen göstermek zorundasınız.

1. Web sitesi için kaydolmak sizi Takipçisi yapar, bir sertifika alırsınız, ancak daha fazlası yoktur. 2. Tüm gerekli alanları doldurmak, anayasa kabul etmek ve vatandaşlık ücretini ödemek size bir Yerlesiklik yapar - bu sizin bir Yerleşik Kimlik Kartı almaya hak kazanmanızı sağlar. Başlangıçta bu dijitaldir. Bu kartın fiziksel sürümleri geliştiriliyor ve bunların nasıl elde edileceği süreci yakında piyasaya sürülecek. 3. Bazı kişiler ücret ödemekten muaftır (ilk 100.000 kişi kaydolmuş, daha önce bağışlamış olan kişiler vb.) 3. Yerleşik kimlik kartı Asgardia'nın bankacılık sistemleriyle bağlantı kurmanıza izin vermez - Ancak; Kişisel kimlik numaranız gelecekte (ABD'deki sosyal güvenlik numarasına benzer) benzersiz bir tanımlayıcı olarak kullanılacaktır ve kimliğinizin ve kamu hizmetlerinin kullanıma sunulduğunda güvenliğinin sağlanması için özel tutulmalıdır.
