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.

This year 2019, we witnessed the star event most awaited by the astronomical world. On July 2, and for almost three minutes, a total solar eclipse was observed in the central zone of Chile that darkened the skies of the southern hemisphere, generating a halo of mysteries and emotions to those who could observe it. For months, our Asgardia team in Chile planned and managed the requirements to attend this unique event, moving material and human resources from different places to the fourth region of Coquimbo, where the eclipse could be observed in its entirety. After an exhausting road trip crossing several regions, we arrived on Monday, July 1 to the city of Coquimbo, one of the most beautiful in the northern area of Chile, located in a roadstead called La Herradura, where we were welcomed by the family Tapia Iriarte, with whom we contacted through your company https://propiedadeslabahia.cl/. They gave us lodging and first class attention for the team and guests. Once installed, we were invited to visit typical places in the area and then to a restful dinner and rest, to start the trip early to meet this eclipse. At dawn on Tuesday, July 2, and together with the team and the guests, we travel to the sector of the El Tofo mine, which is on the way to Caleta Chungungo, about 60 kms. north of the city of Coquimbo. The place is called the "ground zero", since according to the information of friends astronomers and scientists, the shadow of the Sun projected by the Moon would be maximum in that place. The team and guests Asgardians agreed to the place, through dirt roads and semi-desert landscapes, between hills and mountains, to have the best image of this event. Along with families and teams of eclipse hunters from ten different countries, we share experiences on the previous total eclipse, which occurred in 2017, and which was observed in Oregon, United States. Not only the eclipse could be followed in its entirety, but also with the best of locations, achieving wonderful images of this unique event, and where graphic material was also delivered to the guests, courtesy of our Chilean mayor and graphic designer Greg Valdenegro , who came not only from Chile, but from countries as distant as Denmark, Germany or Japan. They had the opportunity to listen to a brief talk about Asgardia, the first space nation. After enjoying the eclipse, a meeting of camaraderie took place between the team and guests to celebrate the participation in a unique and mysterious event, and then embarked on the return to Coquimbo, chatting about the emotions and sensations of each one of us who had witnessed it, then sharing a dinner that ended this adventure. We want to thank Sergio, Cecilia and Sebastián for their spectacular attention and restful sleep in Coquimbo, Greg and Teresita Valdenegro for the designs and graphics that accompanied us in this adventure, and for Lorena for the successful coordination of this adventure. We hope that Asgardia will continue to be present in this type of world events, showing our willingness to contribute material and human resources in concrete actions to the development of culture and science, and we invite each of our followers and Asgardians to investigate and organize for this type of events, or similar ones. Thank you for this experience, in Dondeni people from all over the world forgot their differences and united to direct their gaze to heaven, like what we are. A Humanity A unit.

I live in Austria and my government doesn't support dual-citizenships and if you acquire a second one the government is revoking the original austrian one and obviously i don't want that to happen because i would have nowhere to go then. after asgardia becomes an official nation of course. should i leave asgardia or what should happen?

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#

I would do just about anything to be one of the first established Asgardians, but how can I increase my chances? Will some Asgardians never actually reach Asgardia? Will we expand the station once we are set up there to allow more citizens? Will we need extensive training before being allowed to be in Asgardia?

Hej och välkomna!! Presentera er gärna här i denna tråden ett par ord om var ni bor och vilka ni är kan vara trevligt. Mitt namn är Charlie och jag bor i norrköping. jag är huvud admin för den svenska FB. sidan och kommer även sköta denna delen av Asgardia-forumet! mitt mål är att få till en gemenskap mellan svenska Asgarder! väl mött! Mvh Charlie.

Hi :) I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for this project, and that I can't wait for that first satellite launch, it will be an historic day. With close to 10,000 Asgardians, Australians do forward thinking so well :) Proud to be among your numbers.

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.

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.

There are good alien and bad alien,like us. I don't think kill them all is good idea. __Admin Edit:__ Moved this from General to Off Topic. _Alex Fiume, 28/12/2015, 12:41 GMT_

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.

¿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.
