Hi all, as Asgardia is still forming her first government, I would like to ask a question on how the government is going to engage and help gain interest in civic engagement for Asgardia? Our form of government is a Unitary Democracy and without citizen engagement, no matter how effective the government is, the government will fail. Is there any set of rules, guidelines, or information on engaging people in Asgardian civic life? What mechanisms have we or should we create to ensure the government is responsive to the body politic? Further, should we look at concepts like digital democracy or others? Secretly hoping to get a discussion going on this and would love to hear some ideas/ see some resources. As citizens of a new country we have a unique opportunity to form and test new ideas on government; and as time passes help shape a government that can tackle the complex problems of a space civilization.

If you watched 2001: Space Odyssey, you need to remember that scene where astronauts run on a giant wheel to practice and receive the daily dose of gravity. This wheel acts as a centrifuge, which simulates the force of gravity . Without gravity, the bones lose strength, the muscles become rickets, and the heart loses its conditioning. When astronauts return from long missions from the International Space Station, they are warned not to move after landing; they are loaded and then go through several weeks of reconditioning to gravity. This means that even if we had the spacecraft ready to travel for years and years in space, astronauts could not bear to spend all this time without gravity. Gravity chambers are critical for long space travel. But so far we have not been able to create any room that does not cause dizziness and nausea in its users. The problem with the wheels generating forces on the bodies is that all this movement creates a paired cross-vision, a hassle in the inner ear that makes you feel like you're somersaulting, and this causes nausea. Slow ignition To try to solve this problem, aerospace engineer Torin Clark conducted a rather funny experiment: he and his team put several volunteers to run on one of these centrifugal machines. The difference between this study and all the previous ones is that they started with rotations very slowly and progressed at different speeds, depending on the adaptation of each person. The advance has been customized. Each participant started with only one spin per minute and increased the speed only when he stopped feeling sick. Gradual acceleration did not happen quickly: they were acclimatized in 10 different sessions. This personalized advancement brought positive results for all participants. At the end of the tenth session, everyone rotated comfortably without feeling sick with an average of 17 revolutions per minute. This number is much higher than that obtained in any previous experiment. The results were published in the June issue of the Journal of Vestibular Research . The research was conducted at the University of Colorado in Boulder (USA). This shows that artificial gravity can be an optimistic option for the future of space travel. “As far as we know, virtually anyone can adapt to this stimulus,” says the researcher. 50 sessions In a similar study, the researchers increased the number of training sessions to 50 and concluded that people also adapt to multiple rotations per minute. Now they want to know how long the benefits of training last after the interruption of Sessions, and how much gravity an astronaut needs to fight the loss of bones and muscles.

Is er enige interesse voor een Nederlands board en zijn er leden van Nederland actief aanwezig op de site? Zo ja reageer op deze subforum! This is to see if there are any interest for the Dutch people :)

el pago de la residencia es costoso para aquellos residentes asgardianos que no poseen esa entrada de dinero, creo que es conveniente poner otro tipo de método! deberian colocar algun tipo de trabajos online que cada quien pueda realizar e ir obteniendo logros hasta obtener la tarjeta de residencia y optar por esos beneficios que ofrecen al realizar el pago

Good afternoon, I'd like to make a suggestion that the 12th ministry should be of transport. Transport will be an integral part of operations for a nation in space and will need to be regulated to a degree much stricter than that of any here on earth due to the hazards involved. I believe a ministry of transport will become especially important in the future if space travel becomes a part of everyday life. Not only will transport to and from earth be a major consideration, but also any transport used on or within space stations, on moons and potentially other planets and also here on earth. Transport will also be a vital part of obtaining and moving the vast amount of resources required to build and maintain a space nation and therefore the utmost care needs to be taken to ensure regulations are developed to ensure that transport and logistics are run safely and smoothly. All the best Tony

Dear Head of Nation I'm writing to wish you a happy birthday and to thank you for your brave and fearless leadership. I hope that you have a day of joy and rest on your birthday. You are an inspiration, and I hope you have many more years to keep up the good work. Happy birthday and God bless. Kind Regards Benjamin Dell Deputy Chair of Parliament Chair of Foreign Affairs Committee

God was created all above the UNIVERSE and specially PLANET EARTH how the humankind exist base on the bible research by translators of thousand peoples scholars across the nation how bible existance God knows all above the PLANET EARTH is very important creation even the all UNIVERSE really existance both are great treasure the DIVINE PROVIDENCE. The Perfect image of GOD all humankind since the bible exist the very important how Gods son to have wives from existance the giant human. The Supreme God allowing to advance techonology even the bible exist the proven the advance technology exist. Even the human research and scientist also discovered everything how to exist. Every thoughts and knowledge is very important. The wisdom is different interpretation its the highest guidance of Divine PROVIDENCE SUPREME GOD. How many books worlds history the God Mythology explained by detail the history about existance. The UNIVERSE is exist then God explained everything without limitless beyond existance and how beautiful outside the PLANET EARTH UNEXPLAINABLE the edge and its endless UNIVERSE. Supreme God can be explain the if the UNIVERSE othes Dimensional like EARTH the next UNIVERSE can you explain by KNOWLEDGE OR WISDOM.
