I don't know that much about Asgardia but it seems extremely interesting and serious here. I really want to get involved with the Asgardian project as it is very impressive, but I don't really know where to start. I'd really like Asgardia to become a real country, and for Asgardian ID cards and passports to be edited, so that I could show I'm a very proud Asgardian citizen. The thing is, I literally have no knowledge when it comes to science, politics or even economics, so all I can do is hope for everything to be alright, and for the future to shine brighter than it is today, so that we Asgardians could get closer to the sun and stars !

Current East Coast U.S. resident here, waiting on more official announcements to see where this project is headed. Nice to meet everyone!

Ok, this platform doesn't give much freedom to post more than words accompanied by pictures, so I will try and give as much description as possible. Pic 1, Mass Effect prototype. Yes, this pic is from BioWare's game but the concept I have in mind is similar. A comfortable weave type suit with various layers for protection. Pic 2, from Space.com, an infographic about the actual NASA spacesuit. Pic 3, what the outer skin of the spacesuit currently consists of. The Mass Effect concept seems to(or is going to) apply all the protection shown in pic 3(outer skin) in a near skin-tight, flexible suit. The ME suit seems to be equipped with padding for aesthetic purposes. I think however that we can add flexible computers(silicon based), biometrics, control modules, and possibly more to the ME type suit. The ME suit also has couplings built into the suit for possible add-ons, which will come in handy as development of the suits and add-ons continue. I'm fairly certain with the advancement of today's technology, we can scale down the protective layers to a near ME type style, especially with the types of materials being used, manipulated and discovered in science. We can incorporate batteries, piping, even H2O and O2 tank equivalents throughout the suit without bulking it up too much(even if those tanks are only temporary). If the "undergarment" in pic 2 can do the job of the total protection of the wearer, and if it can be durable and flexible enough for everyday use, we can manipulate the "add-ons" for easier addition and less bulk. Want to lift more? Ok, attach the heavy lift kit to the legs and arms sections and have the suit PC's auto adjust and assist. Want a space jet pack? add the attachment. Want to do maintenance? add the attachment. Etcetera, etcetera. As long as the initial suit is an easy-to-wear outfit that offers great protection from the get-go, it should be easy to create appropriate add-ons specifically for the "job on hand".

Are you speaking to falling into a meritocracy where what you have achieved is your education? Our ideas are our own. When you speak of bridges within Asgardia and also those without, I ask You to please go on and explain to me. We are many different peoples from many different lands. As we go forward I believe that we need to speak up and describe and define clearly for ourselves and others the idea, the dream we want to build. This entire effort has to get to a sense of trust, of faith in the personalities of oneself and our leaders. Right now we are too small to not do the thinking work together. In the past and present old nations depends on the dualistic. In my very new and humble opinion, Asgardia starts with a familiar structure of a dialectic discourse. To truly want this be a real national experience then I need to know more.—not just from you or our mayors or our parliamentarians or our national leaders.
