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).

Today is world day. And the Asgardia nation is progressing with this consciousness.                                                              Happy World Day

What does one say when they join a kingdom in space? This is truly new territory for me at least, I don't know about you.

My name is Zachary Kascak, but I go by Zak. I am an anthropologist and filmmaker from Cleveland, Ohio. I am hoping Asgardia is a place for true civil discussion unlike the reality that we now live in, in the United States of America. I have grown extremely tired of the fighting over politics without so much as a civil conversation between people with differing opinions.

Here is to the hope that there are people who wish to have civil discourse instead of infighting and name calling. Let us be examples for the rest of the world, and sow peace for the future.

Well it is time for me to turn in for the night. I believe I shall quote one of my favorite plays by one, William Shakespeare: "So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends." --A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act IV Scene 1

So, I guess this is where we jump right into it? Seems to be under a diff setting than my blog. Well if it isn't bear with me.

Hey guys, I'm Anton.

Canadian born and BC based, I find myself more interested in contributing to the building of Asgardia through the designing, building, and implementation of technologies that could be of use to our nation, and/or via roles in our security sector.

However, the immediate work ahead is going to be based in government/parliament, and as a Canadian I feel the need to make sure that human equality and our rules are measured out and developed together so that no-one get's left behind or shuttered behind some obscure (or even prevalent) law. This isnt to say I dont believe that Asgardians elected would violate the constitution, it's just that if I was to be a representative, that's where my focus would be.

I'd welcome your support, just as I'd welcome more candidates with similar mindsets. What we do with this opportunity is what defines our future, and that's just plane old exciting.

Hello there my fellow Asgardian Citizens,

The opinion poll that Civic Asgardia is running on the subject of the age-limit is running out time. It's due to expire on December 04, 2017. If you haven't yet voted, please do so. With enough voices all talking together as one, we can send a strong message to the Head of the Nation and ask him to use the powers outlined in the constitution to resolve this matter and allow people under the age of 40 to be duly elected in this Parliamentary election.
