In the previous post we took a look to the American law about space resources. Today I share with you the Luxembourg's law about space mining.

On 13 July 2017 Luxembourg’s Chamber of Deputies passed a law, with near unanimity, regarding the exploration and utilization of space resources.

Luxembourg has been pretty active in the space mining business these days. Just last November, the EU country made a €25m investment and cooperation agreement with space mining company Planetary Resources.

“Space resources are capable of being appropriated,” the first article of the Luxembourg act states.

However this interpretation I read on http://spacenews.com caught my attention :

Both the U.S. and Luxembourg laws grant ownership to resources only after they have been extracted , avoiding potential conflicts with the Outer Space Treaty, which prohibits companies from claiming territory on celestial bodies.

NEW FEELINGS, NEW EMOTIONS

NEW WAY OF COMMUNICATION

BREAKING THE LIMITS OF LANGUAGE

PROBABLY NEXT STEP IN EVOLUTION.

WE, ASGARDIANS, ARE MESSENGERS, NOT DOOM, NO HARM WHATSOEVER, NOT SIMPLY A GAME.

WE ARE A SET OF PASSWORDS WHICH REMAIN THE SAME AND HAVE NEVER CHANGED BEFORE.

THE EXPERIENCE OF FINDING THE FINAL PASSWORD IN SPACE IS IN ITSELF AN ANSWER TO MANY QUESTIONS.

وقتی به تاریخ گذشته ملت ها نگاه کنیم، به طور واضح مشاهده میشه که در تمام موارد، کارهای بزرگ در ابتدا مورد تمسخر ، کمی بعدتر مورد تهاجم و در آخر مورد ستایش قرار گرفته اند!

بگذارید امروز کار بزرگی که در جریان است را جشن بگیریم و خوشحال باشیم شخصی چون آقای ایگور آشوربیلی آغاز کننده طرح بزرگی شد که سرآغاز تمدن جدید در آن سوی آسمان خواهد بود.

من از تمام دوستان و بزرگ اندیشان می خواهم که این اتفاق بزرگ را در همه جا نشر دهیم، تا روز به روز به شمار آسگاردیایی ها اضافه شود، تا این تمدن هر چه زودتر و در زمان حیات ما شکل بگیرد و همه ی ما به آرزوی خود یعنی دنیای نوین و صلح جو نزدیک شویم.

I think this is a good time to reflect.

About what is Asgardia, what it implies for Humanity, our objectives, our Projects and what we had achieved.

A little over a year ago, I heard about Asgardia.

I, who grew up with the Asimov and Bradbury novels among many other authors, opened my eyes to the Universe with Sagan, I saw the Apollo XI moon landing live and I marveled at all the advances of Science and Technology, I could not evite feel fascinated by something like that: a Nation for Space! It looked like Science Fiction ... but there there was Ashurbeyli, offering us to construct something so immense.

Step by step we went forward, first the Certificate, then the Declaration of Unity and the Constitution ... (modestly I have collaborated as a volunteer in its draft) ...

Next the Asgardia 1 ... How many nations in the world can have a satellite orbiting ... not many. And there we are ... in little more than a year everything we have done.

Next step: Elections to Parliament. Another great goal, and each time we are more to achieve it.

Each and every one of us can contribute his grain of sand. For my part, I offer to pour my knowledge, experience, and all my will to achieve it.

I do not want to be heavy, I do not want to bore you repeating what you can read in my candidacy, just makes you know that I am here, to hear you, share experiences, plan projects, defend your opinions ...

Asgardians ... We have a Nation to build ...

Let's do it!

Together we can!

Greetings, Susana Buono

Thank you fellow Asgardian for reading my platform and being a part of our unique movement to becoming a peaceful and space based nation. This movement will require an initial government led by radically courageous individuals, and I believe my life so far has prepared me to successfully take on the responsibilities of the FIRST Minister of Science. Growing up, I've always looked at life through the lens of science and determined that the main objective of human beings should be the development of technology necessary to defend our homeworld (and other planets) from planet-killing asteroids. Another asteroid WILL inevitably impact Earth at some yet-to-be determined time, and when that day does come, it will destroy everything we have ever dreamed and worked for. Before an effort of that magnitude can be realized though, a certain level of world peace and habitability must be restored. We, as citizens of Asgardia, believe ultimately in peace and the preservation of our habitat, so we must be the torchbearers of the guiding light that is science to assist our fellow humans achieve these goals soon. We then may all continue to move on to a far more meaningful way. Your vote means a lot to me, and I will gladly respond to your questions and comments about my platform or on how I will carry out my duties as your Minister of Science to the best of my ability. Please read my platform on my profile page and consider me for your vote. It literally means the world to me.

Hello,

Recently I have come across some in my opinion disturbing suggestions, attitudes, and revelations. Like Phicksur's question about a survelliance state, some "Illuminati" members having inftrated the ranks of Asgardia, and a defense only approach to defense. Before I go any further I want to clarify something for folks who may not be aware of it. After it's conception the group known as the Illuminati was a group solely focused on the gaining of knowledge mainly the kind that was considered as forbidden. Often times because the church did not want it getting out because it threatened to destablise and undermine their growing power. It was not until after the group was itself infiltrated by the church, that the group's activities took on a more sinister asthetic.

So, when folks mention the illuminati doing this or doing that, they are really referring to the operatives planted their by the church and not the actual group itself. Anyway back to the topic, considering the disturbing things I have come across and of course I mean by my opinion when I say that I have found myself wondering what exactly is Asgardia meant to be? I mean, I know what the founder wants it to be but, it seems to me like some other group or force is trying to steer the project down a different darker path. Am I the only one who gets that impression?

¿Qué sucede cuando personas que trabajan en lugares donde el reparto de la riqueza está muy polarizada y les ha tocado el lado donde la pobreza impera y los recursos no son suficientes?

Ellos buscarán la forma de acercamiento a las áreas de oportunidad ya partir de ellos verán el tipo de posibilidades para que colaboren con Asgardia, para algunos el asunto es otro, incluso en Asgardia un sitio donde suponen el dinero sobra y que algunos millas Los cientos de euros pueden llegar a sus manos para poder utilizarlos en los formatos que hasta el momento han funcionado para la manutención de su modo de vida. Esto es un error desde el punto de vista que se ve, Asgardia no va a alimentar los modelos de beneficencia de las zonas marginales, Asgardia va a proponer modelos sustentables y es por ello que ha lanzado su propuesta:
