Hello my fellow Asgardians,

Hope you are in good health. I hope by now you are aware of the voting of parliamentary members of Asgardia. I believe you have voted and if not. vote now and vote me. I will work with you towards the betterment of our lives regardless of race or color. Team work is a key to success and that is why my slogan is "together we achieve".

Bye bye for now and I wish you a happy Christmas.

I hereby propose laws that would improve democracy for all

1.Support an amendment to the constitution and allow party politics to take place.

2. Voting age 16

3. Drinking Alcohol age at 17

4. Make sure educational opportunities are equal for all Asgardians

5. Pass a law that protects same sex couples and gender equality

6. Ratify the Paris Agreement on Climate change.

7. Agree and implement UN Human rights legislation into our constitution (freedom of speech, freedom of expression and religion)

8. Implement proportional representation system once party politics is allowed.

9. Implement a law that grants more financial support to scientific study of earth like exoplanets - To allow more satellites, dishes and so on to scan the heavens.

10. Consent laws :- Age 16

11. Universal Credit to people who are unemployed.

Whenever there is a task that needs to be implemented, strategy plays a very important role. Without proper strategy we can easily loose a win and we can even endanger ourselves.

Why I am a fit?

1. Before making any plan of action I strongly believe deep understanding the task in hand is very crucial. I invest time and try to acquire as much knowledge about the task as possible.
2. As I said in the headline, "There are many ways to get things done. But not all ways are the right approach", while making the plan of action I thoroughly research on the outcomes of different approaches to complete the task and then choose the best one. And yes of course I always keep a back up plan, a wild card plan and an escape plan. *Wild card plan is a plan for temporary action to be used in utmost necessary condition. *Escape plan, there is no shame is retreating. It is not always possible to implement. In case we need to stop the implementation, it needs to be done in a way that no further damage is made and most of the already made resources are stored safely for future use.
3. Problem solving skills is my most crucial asset. There will always be problems arising while implementing any task and they need to be taken care of in a very effective way and ASAP. I keep re-strategizing every bit now and then to make sure things run smooth and we reach our goal.

Today, I would like to discuss a few improvements that we could make with our nation and website; mainly I will focusing on citizenship and individual rights. Currently, there is not an option listed to include children of Asgardians into our population count. I feel that we are inaccurately calculating our statistics because of this. As the age of sixteen (16) is a commonly used age to define topics of consent and usage, it would be reasonable that those under the age of sixteen could have their parents or guardian designate them as citizens of our nation.  Those above the stated age would be able to define for themself if they wish to belong to Asgardia. Now, this age setting is only a suggestion, and it can be raised and lowered as needed, the same as how different locations around the world have the option to raise or lower the legal age to vote for government officials. Accurate statistics allow us to identify instances of population growth, where our financiances are going for citizens, and potential fraud. This can include fraudulent usage, or theft of health cards for free benefits to non-citizens (which is surprisingly common in my country of origin), undocumented numbers of minors getting into locations and activities that they legally should not be doing, and a general misunderstanding of who are people are overall. Now, not all of these instances are necessarily "negative", but there will be-- and believe me, it will happen all too suddenly-- debates on these topics in the future, no matter how much we may choose to either ignore them, or not realize it.

Which brings me to my next subject of debate: uncomfortable politics. We all have a topic, whether ethically or emotionally, that we would rather not talk about, or shove out of the way for another person or time to take care of it. As a new nation with the intention of being a guiding light for humanity's future, we need to air out the skeletons in our closet and face the issues head-on. Ethical conundrums, such as the subjects of race wars, abortion laws, drug legality, gun control, and more, are topics that many of our race either feels passionately about, or has no desire to touch those discussions with a ten-foot pole. The fact of the matter is, if we want to move forward, we have to decide promptly on these kinds of issues and learn to accept differing opinions as civil and intelligent beings. These are hot topics, and it is well known that most will not get along regarding the moral queries they impose. However, there needs to be procedures put in place to protect our citizens during the processes of putting related bills into law. There will be fights, and protests, and mean words said, so we need to be able to protect both city and state from abuse and terrorism during these critical, and uneasy, times. Frankly, there should be protections at all times, but we can easily predict the levels of hate and violence rising during these uncomfortable politics. Still, we need to get through these issues, these differences. Everybody has a personal right to choose their own path in life,-- whether it be pro-life or pro-choice, for or against gun control, to use or not use marijuana or other drugs, etcetera-- but they do not have the right to force their personal opinions on others. Paraphrasing the words of Dame Maggie Smith, "My dear, [opinions] are like a penis. It's a perfectly fine thing for one to have pride in, but when one takes it out and waves it in my face we have a problem." As crude as it may sound, the point is gotten across stupendously. Protect the people from difference of opinion, but also face the problem directly so we can decide on what we want to set as an example to the rest of humanity once and for all.

Hey, All Asgardian Brothers And Sisters

I just nominated myself for ministry of youth and education as a deputy minister. We will build and also rebuild our generation, and next generation. My acchivement is generalize life-long learning, the reason is simple, with the inovations in health, we will live a long life.

I'll be quite straight with you, I am and always have been a well-educated experienced career generalist with a background of success both science and the arts. It's my point of view that Asgardia needs BOTH generalists and specialists for maximum success in the newly-forming Asgardian parliament and government, and to create a dynamic and lively atmosphere for manifesting effective research and development of this new space kingdom.  It is my humble opinion that a fully functional and diverse team comprised of people experienced in all the specifics of creating a viable domain in space, along with people who are experienced in many areas less specified will provide a balanced and thoughtful approach, and grow a healthy and dynamic Asgardian society.   Running for parliament in these current by elections, and I think deeply and seriously about the vast number of tasks and duties in shaping all things Asgardia.  Also, looking forward to participating in whatever capacity presents, for Asgardia's healthy and flourishing development.  What are your thoughts on the topic of generalists and specialists and Asgardia?

The asteroids are bodies formed by diverse materials, like rocks, metals and ice, that travel without fixed direction by the cosmos, sometimes in really immense orbits. And they represent enormous risks for the continuity of life on planet earth. Due to the great danger posed by a possible collision, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has several projects underway. 

One of them is called the Dual Asteroid Redirection Test Mission (DART), which is NASA's main project in its attempt to keep meteorites away from Earth. This will take place from December of the year 2020 and will serve as test and learning. 

The mission of DART is to be the first demonstration that you can deflect the trajectory of an asteroid by hitting it directly.

The impact, which will be the responsibility of the ship that bears the name of the mission, will be made against a body of small size (about 150 meters) that accompanies the asteroid Didymos. With the blow, which will occur at about 6 km / s, the object will be redirected. The aircraft will disappear in its fall against the rocks. Everything is planned so that the encounter between the ship and Didymos takes place in October 2022, so the device must make a trip of two years towards its goal. This project also had the collaboration of the European Space Agency (ESA, for its acronym in English).
