Hello everyone, Check out this post here on Asgardia website about a citizen scientist who used some photos of Mars to create a nice piece of work. https://asgardia.space/en/news/Citizen-Scientist-Turns-InSights-Photos-of-Mars-into-GIFs

Ya sea que experimentes el Verano boreal o invierno austral o viceversa contemplemos la vida en su amplia dimensión y encontremos en ella motivos para ser unidos y estar felices por todo lo que podemos hacer desde el punto geográfico que nos encontremos. Les envío un saludo en esta época que todos comparten bellas estampas recordando sus tradiciones y disfrutan de festejos y días de asueto, gracias por su alegría y sus buenos deseos, gracias por un año más juntos.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but the forums are unreliable at the moment so here it is. Please take the time to read the entire post if you wish to comment. I encourage constructive criticism and discussion. Good day, Can someone please address my question. Why do we need any formal government at all? My reasoning: By having volunteer committies, where any citizen is able to volunteer, to no limit. Committiee meetings would be held in an open public chambers for any to attend. Meetings would be video broadcast to the entire ship, should Citizens wish to tune in and follow. Speakers at the meetings are given 5 minutes each to present their argument on scheduled topics. After speaker presentations, all decisions are put to a vote, available in real time to the entire ship, open to all that choose to vote. Votes are open for a period of 6 hours where all citizens can take the time to openly discuss the topics and make their decision abd cast their vote. During the voting period, committee volunteers who wish to open a new topic for the next committee meeting would submit a digital form, outlining their proposal to the other committee members for review. Those proposals are then the voted on topics for the next meeting and the person that submitted the proposal is again the speaker and the cycle repeats. Once the vote is complete, the majority rules and the decision is made but if a citizen strongly opposes the decision, they can collect 1000 signatures to appeal the decision. If appealed, the citizen who files the appeal must submit the alternitive proposal to the other members to schedule their chance to speak and put the alternative to a vote. Please note that I am aware that this explanation is oversimplified and that many other big and innovative changes need to be made in order for this to work but I assure you that I have accounted for those changes and am willing to openly and constructively discuss those issues and come up with solutions. Why I am so passionate about this idea? Eliminates corruption at every political level Gives all citizens who wish to partisapate, an equal voice. Full 100% transparency And accountability Reactive, immediate policy change to reflect immediate needs. No costly and disruptive electoral campaigns with broken promises, destructive propaganda No chance of hidden political agenda because rather than voting on a party with hopes of them representing your best interests, you represent your best interests. No inflated government salaries, eliminating financial motivation in political policy. No division of Left and Right Not having to choose the lessor of 2 evils. This idea is not perfect but if you look at all the forms of government on earth today, none of them are working and the world in in chaos. We have here, the greatest opportunity in the history of civilization, to hit reset and truly guid humanity into the future. Repeating old mistakes in insanity. Please open your mind and realize that every idea was New once and with a collaboration of minds like ours, we can make a system like this work and become the blueprint for a truly advanced civilization . Thank you for taking the time to read this and I welcome your ideas, questions and criticism. After all, that's why we're here isn't it? Terry Foster

Happy birthday Igor. I'm proud to stand before you as an Asgardian who will never give up on his people. If it wasn't for you, I and many others wouldn't have never found a purpose in life. You made that possible. Now I can meet like minded individuals who share the same goal and maybe even beings from distant galaxies. I thank you very much for all you have done.

How can we beat spammers and or how to prevent spamming. Grtz, Dirk.

Greetings Asgardians, I would like to spread here something I wrote long long time ago for a shortfilm script which have never been filmed. The shortfilm is called _The Process_ and its kind of a futuristic and surrealistic script. When I imagined that Society where the story begins and comes on, which I dated in November 9th of 2034 (hundred years after Carl Sagan's birth), I saw it as a non-pyramidal government which embrace Science and Transhumanism over any Religion. One of the phrases which could define this Society could be taken from Bioshock game which says _"No Gods or Kings, only Man"_ (_"Nek Dioj nek Reĝoj, nur Homoj"_, in esperanto). I imagined it far away from actual governments which have a pyramidal organization with different Political Parties which are voted and hardly defended by citizens independently of the good or bad acts made by their own politicians. It keeps a door open to corruption and give chances to a real societal collapse and human decline. So the way this Society takes to avoid this problem is to atomize the power and just take the individual from the masses. They adopted somekind of the old government described by Plato called _Sophocracy_ ( ), the government of the wise, which I'll expand its definition below. Between the different _Sophocratic Councils_, they use as the Official International Language a non-political artificial idiom which is really easy to learn for everyone as it's base have roots from almost all languages in the world: _Esperanto_. ( ). In the story I wrote, the protagonist asks for help to the _Sophocratic Council of Health_ which sends him a message to his personal device to visit Dr. Daniel Persinger who is member of the Council. Spectators can see all kind of diplomas and credentials of the Doctor, written in esperanto and focused in Science. So I can imagine now the spanish Congress building, composed by 350 seats, and how they should be used in this Society by differents _Sophocratic Councils_: of Health, of Education, of Economy... In this case, talking about Health, the 350 seats can be used by 350 Active Doctors which I really think they will have an accurate view about problems and needs for the Society in Health, much more accurated and wiser than any politician defined as Health Minister pointed with the finger following the decission taken by the Party he represents with zero credentials or experience in that field on his back. We could also talk about 350 teachers for Society Education, 350 economists for Society Economy and so on... Maybe this Society could adopt a Suffrage style. Maybe Concils can offer different options to the citizen and, asgardians in this case, could vote each decission taken by the Councils using a fast communication method like Internet or a huge LAN, thinking in a very secure Net with the future encrypted technologies which quantum computering will bring to us. Also a solid public website of the social Government could protect and keep this way of working safe and fast for all decissions even if they are urgent and could let you know which are the pros and cons of adopting each Law. Also a not so loved decission could be adopted: A Closed Suffrage, as not all citizens are impartial and openminded, maybe an exam could be implemented to awareness and education about Responsible Voting Act. Now seems not to be important but there's even a _Sophocratic Council of Recreation and Entertainment_ described in a second shortfilm. It doesnt include only Virtual Reality, Art, Humanism, Filmming, Gaming, it goes far away as Robotics will continue replacing Humans from Hard Work. A Universal Payment for all citizens has adopted and all of them will change the obscure and dark view of _Living for Work_ to a _Living for Experiment and Feel_. This will keep all connected in someway and Humans could be educated and learn to Empathize much deeper than now, thats why this Council is SO important and necessary in the Future as one of the pillars of the citizens education. I think I wrote enought, hope its not a boring brick of text. Good night, Asgardians. Bonan nokton!

We can make an impact here and now by getting involved in projects such as Zooniverse,org. We can Catalog Galaxies, Stars and Planets.. I am not a Scientist.. but that's ok. I don't have to be. I can still make a difference. So can you. It is all self explanatory.
