Dear Asgardians,

My name is Pedro Cerqueira Gomes and I am an academic and a lawyer. At the present moment my career I am writing my PhD thesis about how the European States should buy innovative goods and services in order to satisfy public needs.

It is my believe that the place to foster innovation is at State level the main question is how. I can provide good knowledge to the Asgardia on what the role of the State should be when buying innovation.

Only with lawful innovation he can safeguard Asgardia Supreme Values (article 4 of the Constitution).

Best,

Imagine seeing this Tesla out of your perch on Asgardia!  To Mars, and beyond...

Questa foto è un collage di 14 scatti di Syrius-a, ripresi in un intervallo di circa 20 secondi. Grazie al cielo terso e all'estrema luminosità della stella, la luce viene rifratta contimuamente, producendo lo scintillio arcobaleno catturato dalle pose della fotocamera (nessun colore è stato modificato), e che è visibile ad occhio nudo come uno stupendo sfarfallio multicolori.

Purtroppo, visioni come questa sono sempre più rare in Pianura Padana, dove il pesante inquinamento atmosferico smorza la luce di Syrius, trasformandola in una banale, spenta stella di una testarda tonalità rossiccia generata dalle polveri inquinanti.

This is a collage of 14 shots of Syrius-a, taken within 20 seconds. The clear sky and extreme brightness of the star produce the rainbow flickering that is captured on camera (no color editing), and that is seen by your eye as a magnificent rapidly color changing light. Fantastic.

Unfortunately, such sight is rare in Pianura Padana, as the severe atmospheric pollution dims the light from Syrius, transforming the rainbow star in a dull, ordinary, stubbornly reddish star.

İstanbul Kadıköy’de doğdum. Babamın memur olması sebebiyle bir sürü şehir değiştirdim ve arkadaş edindim. Sporda yüzmede bölge birinciliği kazandım, Türkiye şampiyonasında şehrimi temsil ettim. Başka birçok spor alanında da (tenis,satranç,kayak) çeşitli madalyalar ve ödüller kazandım. Liseme girerken yüzde 2’lik dilimde bulunurken üniversitede de bu dilimin içinde bulundum. Hobilerim arasında spor dışında dans etmek, bilgisayar oyunları oynamak, video editleri yapmak da bulunuyor. Şuanda kod yazmak ve program yapmak, uzakdoğu kültürünü (daha çok Kore ve Japonya) araştırmak gibi işlerle uğraşıp Dijital Oyun Tasarımı bölümünde okumaktayım.  Sanal gerçeklik ve yapay zeka üzerinde yoğunlaşıp iyi işler yapmak istiyorum.

Those who try to develop their products and conduct research beyond the Earth's atmosphere are coming to see life through a partnership with the National Laboratory of the International Space Station and NASA. NASA, for its part, is acquiring new resources to aid in its exploration and discovery missions. Through these partnerships, the world is benefiting from the simplicity of those who are taking their ideas to the limits of gravity. From satellite deployment to transportation to space research, a vibrant commercial space economy is evolving and now worth over $ 345 billion! Mike Reid is the manager of the ISS's Office of Business and Economic Development at Johnson Space Center. He explains some of the benefits of NASA's investment in the commercial space economy. “Commercialization of low Earth orbit frees the resources that NASA needs to continue exploring space. As NASA prepares to return to the Moon, visit Mars and continue to engage with other space missions, we will always need a platform in low Earth orbit. This platform allows for staff training, development of advanced systems and basic and applied research. However, expanding the use of the space station for commercial companies opens up a new market. By joining the commercial sector, we can continue our space exploration, providing access to a platform that helps generate jobs, generate revenue and, ultimately, create many new products that help people on Earth Are beneficial for " In terms of research, many companies are using the ISS National Laboratory in the United States to conduct their own research and development research on microgravity technology. These include companies known as Procter & Gamble, who used the station to study colloids, such as shampoo and cloth softener, with the aim of improving the quality and shelf life of their products. Merck, a multinational pharmaceutical company, uses the National Lab to study the growth properties of three-dimensional protein crystals. Your work may lead to a more effective delivery system for cancer treatment. Even companies not well known at the moment are seeing huge dividends from their research. Lambdavision, for example, is using microgravity conditions at the station to advance the development of treatments for the effects of retinal degeneration, aimed at restoring the vision of those affected by it. In addition to research opportunities, the space station contributes to expanding the space economy in other ways. Read explains: “The capacity of launch providers such as SpaceX and Northrup Grumman has grown dramatically over the past decade. The cost of placing cargo into orbit has dropped dramatically, opening the space market for many other non-governmental entities that previously could not afford to access space. Now SpaceX has brought astronauts to the American ground station for the first time since 2011, and for the first time in a privately owned launch system. The commercial crew program provides a large long-term benefit for private companies and NASA. Today, thanks to the space station, commercial entities and other non-governmental entities are entering the space economy in significant numbers. In addition to improving the quality of life for people on Earth, what these new partnerships can do together will take the space market and NASA's biggest missions to new heights.
