the growing interest of the citizens of the world who ask us about our spatial nation, enriches us and urges us to have better methods to guide them and to let them know what on our page they can find, to become a vector of diffusion in the right direction is a constant concern of us inside the Parliament and we are motivated and committed to our tasks and their follow-up, which without the support and constant attention of you would not be possible. Thank you for being aware of every step on the way to the consolidation of Asgardia

Hello citizens of Asgardia. It has come to our doorsteps. The opportunity to feed our dream desires, and the first chance to taste the sweetness of future. This is Asgardia, the space nation. The futuristic kingdom. The kingdom of Asgardians.

Today. On this day, I welcome all of you to the future nation. The nation of Asgardia. The space kingdom. Please join me in making the kingdom of Asgardia a forever endless nation of peace, health and prosperity.

Thank You. Thank you all.

Many of the projects that are in the hands of the citizenship committee, depend on linkage and strategy, nothing that is done in a space is foreign to what others are doing and in this way we all create a chain of possibilities and expectations that will give us strength in the near future.

Muchos de los proyectos que están en manos del comité de ciudadanía, dependen de vinculación y estrategia, nada de lo que se realice en un espacio es ajeno  a lo que otros están haciendo y de esta forma todos creamos una cadena de posibilidades y de expectativas que nos darán fuerza en el futuro cercano

Remembering Belka and Strelka

On August 19, 1960, the Soviet Union launched the Sputnik 5 capsule containing 40 mice, two rats, a rabbit, some fruit flies, plants—and a pair of dogs, Belka (“Whitey”) and Strelka (“Little Arrow.”) They were the first living creatures to go into orbit and return safely. And they gave the Soviets confidence to send a human into space less than a year later.

According to Chris Dubbs, author of Space Dogs: Pioneers of Space Travel, Russian space doctors were at first alarmed when TV transmissions from the Sputnik 5 capsule showed neither dog moving the slightest bit during the first three orbits.

Finally, on the fourth orbit, Belka gave a little shudder and vomited. It seemed to snap both dogs out of a trance, breaking the spell of the strange experience of being without gravity. For the rest of the flight they looked more alert.

Before Belka and Strelka, there were some failed attempts to return safely earth...

Laika , the first animal to orbit Earth.
The Sad, Sad Story of Laika, the Space Dog, and Her One-Way Trip into Orbit.

A stray Moscow pup; Laika traveled into orbit in 1957 with one meal and only a seven-day oxygen supply. Laika was placed in the satellite on 31 October 1957 and was fitted with a harness and chains that would control her movement. While in Sputnik 2 Laika could stand, sit and lie down, she would be unable to turn around. In the early hours of 3 November liftoff finally occurred, but there were immediate problems. Laika’s heart rate jumped to 240 beats per minute, compared to 103 before launch, while her respiration was almost four times faster. Crucially, the Blok A core of Sputnik 2’s nose cone didn’t separate, which stopped the thermal control system operating properly, raising the temperature to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Although Laika’s pulse slowly returned to normal, after five to seven hours she was dead.
