I have had another great question, this time from Asgardian Tierial and it addresses some great points about the future of Citizens in Asgardia.

The question:
“Good evening I have a few questions for you Ross please forgive my book of a message. You already have my vote, once I read threw your aspirations I completely agree with you on the matter for VR. I have always wanted to help make a safe VR ever since I saw the anime dot hack when I was twelve, and still want to but I have veered away from being able to get the requisite skills it would take to help you. I have spent my life so far in the military police  and private security sectors and I do not know where or how to start getting involved in making VR, my question is would you be able/ willing to help me find where to start? And my second question is for you as an PM for us citizens that don't have much to offer to the development of our great kingdom, do you think there will be a social gap between our groups of people who research and develop and those who just work? Here recently I keep asking myself what can I do to help further Asgardia, our kingdom meets all my ideals and dreams but I feel like I would be out of place or underclassed in an intellectually way since all I know is military police and security in a broad since if the term. ”

My Answer:
There are some great questions here, Tierial. First, let me thank you for your support in my campaign for parliament, it really means a lot to me to have the backing of hard-working and invested Asgardian Citizens such as yourself. I’m going to take some time here to write an in-depth response to your question, so I apologise in advance for the volume of it 😊

Getting Involved In VR.

In a previous question asked by ‘The Fabulous Pineapple’ I discuss the reasons why I am pushing VR for Asgardia and how I believe that it’s a really important technology that could provide us with a lot of benefits as a nation.

Asgardia needs to select things that it will ‘specialise in’ – things that it will invest in and become a global leader in.

Asteroid mining, space access, space investment, space law; These are the areas that Asgardia will naturally become specialised in, but I believe that for our decentralised nation, Virtual Reality is another future technology that we can ‘hang our hat on’ and become an ‘industry leader in’.

To become industry leaders, it will be important that our Asgardian Citizens are trained and educated in the development, application, and use of Virtual Reality.

So, to answer your question: I would, absolutely, be more than willing to help you get started with your journey into Virtual Reality. It is my hope that I will be able to share everything I learn and to collaborate with those that know more than I do to create training material for Asgardian Citizens who want to learn to develop VR.

I am by no means a skilled professional in Virtual Reality yet – but it is my aim to become one in time and I am more than happy to share what I know with my fellow citizens.

The Future of Asgardian Citizens.

This is a great question that shows a good level of thought about the future of the project.

A lot of the communication that comes ‘from the top’ speaks of ‘Space Start-ups’ and ‘innovators’ and ‘space professionals’. There is talk of how there is a $1million fund set aside for investment into these ventures, but there is little discussion about how important our ‘day-to-day’ citizens are and what Asgardia will be giving back to them.

In your question, you ask, “Will there be a social gap between our groups.” I honestly think that will not be the case. Asgardia might have set its sights on some good ways to do business and good ways to innovate and to reach towards its goals, but we’re about to elect a small army of 150 people who will be looking out for the needs of our Citizens.

The Asgardian Citizens are a hugely important part of our nation and while a small percentage of our citizens might become space start-ups, most of our citizens believe in Asgardia, they believe in the ideals and they believe in better . They will be looking to be a part of something that could offer them a brighter future and the chance to work with like-minded people.

The citizens directly contribute to the success of the nation, through their activity and in the future, though their donations and business ventures – Without Citizens, Asgardia would cease to exist as a nation and it certainly wouldn’t enter the UN.

Therefore, the elections are a vitally important part of the process so that we can elect those people with the passion, drive and capabilities to secure our future.

What can I do for Asgardia?

As a ‘normal’ Citizen of Asgardia, it’s easy to feel that you’re being ‘left behind’ when there is all this talk of space and innovation and that you don’t have anything that you can contribute to this cause.

But you would be dead wrong .

The Citizens of Asgardia are the most important resource that our nation has and there are a lot of things that you can do to help out the nation beyond creating a new kind of rocket-engine or figuring out how to bake bread in zero gravity.

Asgardia needs activity, it needs growth and it needs the passion of it’s people if it wants to survive. It needs people out there ‘on the street’.

I wrote a post a couple of days ago that I think you might enjoy reading. It addresses the question ‘What can you do for Asgardia.’

My submission to the contest for our cryptocurrency logo designs. Coin designs will be proposed later on my blog based on these logos but they are 2 different things which is why I didn't upload coin designs to the contest submissions. In the future, I will write more detailed lessons on design of all kinds as well as logo design in particular in hopes to teach asgardian community how to create ANYTHING visual of high quality and advertise it effectively. Now, please read the presentation of my product and remember to upvote it if you like my work. :)

SOLAR AND LUNAR LOGO DESIGNS

Futuristic looking lettermarks of my own, original design with astronomical symbols of sun and moon in their middle.

COLORS: generally similar to those used in other insignia- white, blue, golden/ orange.

BASE SHAPES:

1. Circle (curves) - universaly associated with unity and peace/ safety.

2. Hexagon - nowadays often associated with science but also order (in a positive sense).

DIRECTION: UP

Width to height ratio of lettermarks sets horizontal orientation. Gradients of the backgrounds set the "down - up" direction. Human eye perceives darker colors as "heavier" than brighter colors, both in physical and emotional sense. Together all these elements signify asgardian  desire to reach skies and cosmos.

GOOD LOGO DESIGN:

1. It's easy to recognize for a human eye whether scaled down, shown in greyscale or printed on an uneven surface.

2. Unique: currently there exist about 2000 cryptocurrency logos and none look like my designs here.

3. It represents both the product as well as it's company's philosophy. In this case, as explained already, it's done via use of futuristic design, astronomy symbols, shapes and visual direction.
