https://asic2019.space Last week I was lucky enough, as part of the ASIC2019 Science Committee, to meet many international Space scientists, in a brilliant, fertile and friendly atmosphere here in Darmstadt, Germany, next to ESOC (Oph 7-9 03). Among the Participants : - Pr. Floris Wuyts, President, Minister of Science, University of Antwerp, Belgium - Pr. Mark Shelhamer, Johns Hopkins, former chief scientist NASA HRP - Pr. Laurence Young, Astronautics MIT - Pr. Satoshi Iwase, Aichi Medical University - Pr. Christine Hellweg, Head of the Biology Radiation Department, DLR - Pr. Ram Jakhu, McGill University - Pr. Sarah Baatout, Head of the Radiobiology Unit, Belgian Nuclear Research Center - Pr. Jeffrey Alberts, Indiana University - Pr. Ana Diaz Artiles, Texas A&M University - Dr. Mark Belakovsky, Russian Academy of Sciences, IBMP Roscosmos - Dr. Jack Van Loon, University of Amsterdam, Science Committee - Frank de Winne, ESA Astronaut, Head of the European Astronaut Center - Dr. Bob Thirsk, CSA Astronaut - Dr. Victor Demaria-Pesce, Advisor to the Head of European Astronaut Center, ESA, Science Committee - Dr Elena Tomilovskaja, Russian Academy of Sciences, IBMP Roscosmos - Dr. Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Chair of the Science Committee - Dr. Michael Gillon, Astrobiology Research Unit, University of Liege - Dr. Sayaka Wakayama, University of Yamanashi - Dr. Walter Tinganelli, Clinical Radiobiology Group Leader, GSI Helmholtz Center - Dr Klaus Slenzka, Head of OHB Life Sciences, chief scientist of Blue Horizon - Mr. Jeffrey Manber, Nanoracks CEO Here are my suggested Highlights, « take away » concepts and « food for thought » ideas from ASIC2019: Science could be restricted by national constraints or by limited investment chasing. We envision the overcoming implementation of an innovative facilitating base for Science. 1- New Theoretical Frameworks: 1-2- Variable gravity : from the « 0-1 » digital-like G-environments to a G-Spectrum (chronic mild hyperG and reduced gravity exposition) Relevant Thresholds Gravity/Life Support : upcoming research question about gravity or partial pressure, etc.. thresholds leading to the targetted adaptative physiological responses 1-3- Holistic Integration Interaction Paradigm : the onboard Crew Healthcare System (CHeCs) has to be integrated and to take interactions into account within the whole mission architecture (deep-space class and high autonomy requirements). The countermeasure system (CMS), the Environmental Control System (ECS), and the Health Maintenance System (HMS) are part of such a CHeCS. Current shift from the dissociated paradigm of « medical kits », where the components of the system are addressed separately. 2- Combining Ethics and Scientific Rationale : Some new topics scientifically questionned, and Ethics is an ongoing part of the process. 2-1- Hibernation within the countermeasure system (CMS) (radiation tolerance, long-duration space-travel, life-support mass constraints, confinement, feasibility) 2-2- Procreation in Space : Fried-Dried (FD) cells (Nuclei, DNA) actually Space-tolerant, reaching cryptobiotic Tardigrade level regarding Radiations and Space environment stressors. Panspermia theory resonance. Life in a biofriendly Universe exobiological question. Space settlement question and intergenerational Solar system exploration. 3- Connection i.e. 4 types of intelligences-ingenuity to articulate : 3-1- Individual Expertise consistency 3-2- Individual Creative or provocative « Freefall Thinking », "Out of the Box", "Out of the Planet" thinking. 3-3- AI and automated /autonomous Artificial General Intelligence. 3-4- Collective Intelligence : Extractive vs. Emergent models, interconnected planetary inclusive multiscale ecosystem. Horizontal + Vertical dimensions, grounded and space oriented, SOCIAL PROCESSING. Global adhocracy emergence properties. 4- Protection of Earth and transformative Economics: 4-1- Inspired by Nanoracks CEO intervention about an automated in-space repurposing capability : what about applying it to used orbiting stages and debris to clean LEO as well as useful for in-orbit assembling, manufacturing, or geocruisers deviation ? Orbital plan changes and economical model to address. 4-2- Space investments as best Global challenges cooperation vector for our entire current society on Earth (finite ressources, climate change, scarcity, access inequity, conflicts). Kardashev type 1 civilisation driven-shift. Expanding Human capability in Space is expanding the Collective Awareness as well that sets new perspectives, grown ecosystems and opens to global challenges unsung resolution pathways. CONTEXT The vision behind the first Space Science and Investment Congress is to bring 250 people together from academia, aerospace industry, as well as investors, who are eager to shape the future for living in space. The time has come to create space environments besides the ISS where humans can live for extended periods. The congress will focus on the science and technology required to support these first permanent space habitats, including: • Overcoming cosmic radiation • Living in artificial and lunar gravity • Procreation and growing up in space Other topics include life support systems, space tourism, energy harvesting, recycling, human performance, commercial space transportation, space physiology, new materials, space architecture, counter measures, astrobiology, water and oxygen supply, space debris, space weather.
ASIC offers a unique new forum to bring together experts and scientists from multiple disciplines, from all space agencies, universities and industries worldwide, to address these challenges as we look towards the future of humanity. The congress is for everyone who is curious about human spaceflight and paving the road towards permanent space inhabitation.

Hoy tuvimos nuestra reunión semanal cuando inicia el mes de Tauro y para nosotros como asgardianos es lunes, todos los lunes asgardianos nos reunimos con nuestro Chairman Lembit Opik y es muy enriquecedor lograr este contacto que pone en perspectiva todo aquello que hacemos, pronto veremos la versión que nos entrega Rebekah Berg a cargo de las relaciones públicas, con los detalles específicos de nuestras conversaciones; lo más importante es reconocer que ahora el mundo se ha unido a esta estrategia comunicativa que a nosotros nos ha ayudado enormemente y en estos tiempo críticos ante el coronavirus, nos da una herramienta poderosa para seguir adelante, saludos queridos asgardianos

Для многих язык является серьёзным барьером. Если конституция переведена на русский, то с остальными законами я не разобрался ( Например в этом видео рассказывается про выбор лидеров https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRCuHrKChJo&list=PLnZ2wPO7bP2tr-binvHY-pI4gia58PTx2 но где можно найти регламент в текстовом виде, я не понял Давайте обсудим, для начала все непонятности. А там может и местных лидеров изберём.

Hello to the galactic family of Asgardia. I am humbly greatful to be here, amongst many great minds and souls. May the visions be realized*

Nowadays, Gadaffi is missed by the Libyans. Electricity was free. The residence was a human right. All the married couples were given the equivalent to 50.000 (fifty thousand) to buy a house. All loans were 0% interest by law. When Gadaffi came to power, only 5% of the population knew to read and write. When he was assassinated, 83% did know how to read and write. Healthcare was free. If you couldn't be treated in the country, the government would give you all the required amount of money to get treated in a foreign country. If Libyans bought a car, the government would pay 50%. The Libyan central bank was owned by Libya, and not by the Rothschild, a dynasty who own half the world. (http://www.theeventchronicle.com/finanace/rothschild-family-wealth-five-times-worlds-top-8-billionaires-combined/) They create money without gold. Gadaffi didn't sell his people to the Rothschild. Sarkozy said that this (the economy of Libya) was "a threat to the global economy". Gadaffi used to say "We all can live freely on the Earth, without debts and its huge interests.The banks and its bought politicians are stealing trillions of dollars, every year." Unfortunately, Gadaffi was assassinated by the "police of the world". The United States. Today, Libya is a slaved nation. Slaved by the debts of its people. Because of the banks. Because of the USA. Banks. Banks are the source of almost all problems. Banks. Modern slavery. Debts. Students that are working dozens of hours and get less than the minimum wage, and they almost can't pay for the university. People that see their house being awned by the bank just because yoy missed a payment. Old people who are left to die because they are not "valuable" to the banks. I propose to BAN the banks on Asgardia. I (I am sure WE) don't want banks. Ban modern slavery. We can have a central "bank" in the government. All loans would be issued at 0% interest. Do you need some money for a scientific research? Ask the government for a loan. Do you need to buy a house? Ask the government for a loan. Do you need some money to buy that fantastic 3D printer? Ask the government for a loan. Do you need to de treated in a hospital? Don't worry, the healthcare is free. I (again, I am sure We) don't mind paying more taxes as long as we don't have banks in our Nation. Please tell me what do you think or if you want to propose an alternative. Please read before you vote. Thanks for reading.

Hi, my name is U.D.İlhan I wish the best for all of us

We already have a spammer:member name => 《removed》. It may be a case of identity theft. This needs to be looked into in a serious way. The forum will very quickly become unusable if this is not dealt with soon. My suggestion is to limit the number of posts a member can make to begin with. Slow down automated spam by forcing small waiting periods between consecutive posts. Employ filters to flag typical spam words like viagra and alert moderators when these events occur. EDIT 1: Inform regular users not to respond to spam posts. EDIT 2: These first spam posts may be just to test the forum's defence capabilities. A DDoS (mass spam) attack may be being planned. 《Removed》 *** **Admin edit:** removed personal details pending investigation

¿Que significa para nosotros este momento en Asgardia cuando recibimos las noticias que ustedes están leyendo? https://asgardia.space/en/news/Parliament-Fifth-Digital-digital-sitting-DayOne-Highlights Buscar estrategias nuevas, validar movimientos y retomar diversos puntos de partida que necesitaban ser vistos con una perspectiva distinta. Para mi eso es lo más importante; crear una forma diferente de nación, necesita igualmente de formas de plantear las cosas desde un eje que no es el acostumbrado. Partimos de un vinculo con la cultura de nuestro entorno, vamos hacia un modelo de desarrollo completamente nuevo y es difícil, sobre todo cuando el concepto de Nación que tenemos en nuestra mente trata de anclarnos a lo ya conocido y finalmente nos damos cuenta que eso no es posible. Comparemos lo que nos sucede con nuestra estancia futura lejos de la Tierra, nuestra visión del mundo no podrá ser la misma, los anclajes mentales tampoco y es ahí donde surge un nuevo y novedoso paradigma que nos crea una fuerte catarsis ideológica y fuera de lo convencional, analicemos juntos esta reflexión.

In order to establish a comprehensive penal code for Asgardia, I trust the first step to be identifying acts that are defined crimes by the Asgardian community. I will elucidate some of which hereunder, only in titles. Once fellow Asgardians assist with further titles, we can together put strict and clear definitions for the content of each title. I believe that the main focus should be 'natural crimes', and hereby I'm implying acts, whether positive or negative, that cause direct harm to the community, rather than legal/statutory crimes such as custom traffic or tax evasion for example. Let's first agree to classify crimes as: A- Crimes of violent nature. B- Crimes of non-violent nature. Anyone interested in cataloguing relevant crimes in each category? Eternal Soul Barrister

I came accross this question sooner, how should be called "Asgardians", meaning the people who belong "in" Asgardia. I'm pretty sure every language has its own way to name people based on their country of origin. I think we should clarify the term we're using for each language, it may be common sense in some language, but maybe not so much in others and an official naming should be selected then. I'm opening a pool about whether such question is really useful or not, maybe I'm overcomplicating things. --- Edit: Pool vote was 10 (Yes) against 1 on 16th January. A document has been made available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-F3R2pNDiOcH7qAUfrTaC0OR2Du_RNz1evnioqFYXvM/edit#

So here's the thing, I love this Country, the hopes and other ideas and talks that makes it what it is, but if we are going to make space our national frontier, how would be able to prevent racism in the far future. I know what asgardia's goal is but when you look at it. Imagine a mix of hundreds of cultures melding into one, it'll become a new culture and over a long period of time, probably a new race. Now I believe the ministry of culture should be responsible for teaching the future generations how to eradicate racism from our side. It'll be sad if the term "Asgardian" happens to be used as a racial slur.

Welcome to ARE, I've created this community with the hopes of uniting people who are disgruntled with the manner in which equality has been left to the sidelines by Asgardia, even though it was supposed to be a central tenet of the Space Nation. I believe our first focus should be addressing the 100 EUR Residence fee, as well as identifying other points of inequality in Asgardia. I'm by no means an expert in the field, however I want to be able to be proud to call myself an Asgardian, and I cannot while such poor laws and management are in place. So any help will be deeply appreciated.

There are many religions in this world.Every religion has it's good thinking for humanity.We should not mind the dark side thinking of any religion .We should follow creative bright side of the religion then we can get relax and happiness in our life. **Mod Edit** moved from general discussion to theology.
