I have only lived thirty years... And yet in that time I feel as though I have accomplished wonders. Looking back, I wonder how I came to be where I am today. I remember the arduous journey, I see the results now, but I still stand in awe I have made so much progress... I have traveled the world, thanks to my father doing security work for the US embassies while in the US Marine Corps, completed my black belt in Tai-Kwon-Do after beginning training in the art at eight years old, free-climbed an eight-hundred-foot tall stone spire called by locals the Rock of Yorin with my father, friends, and other family, won several small local surfing competitions in California and Hawaii, took a career in logistics as a Logistician and Optimizer, study Aerospace Engineering and Advanced Applied Physics at the best school a guy could ever hope to attend, achieved my A- and B-License with the United States Parachute Association for skydiving along with Coach Rating, about to embark on the beginnings of the Seven Summits Expedition next year after a month of mountaineering training in Iceland, and much more.

How does anyone do so much in so little time? Persistence and family and friends kicking me forward every step of the way. Between all of my parents' marriages I have eight brothers and five sisters. Between the guys, growing up was a healthy competition. Blood, sweat, and tears were the currency spent to achieve the next objective.  Having a father who could be hard and unforgiving at exactly the right times and kind and caring at other times gave me the confidence to pursue any damn thing I fancy to master. Impossible is a reckless word; the earlier it is abandoned the better. This little blog post is a tribute to the time and care invested in me by my parents, siblings, friends, teachers, instructors, role models, and mentors growing up and now.

I thank each and every one of you for making me who I am today. I would've stumbled and been lost long ago without you. It would take more space than I have here to list you all, but you know who you are. From the very core of my being: Thank You!!! Blue skies my friends, and may we forever reach higher together.

Borders; the ultimate defining principal of any Nation, without them, who are we? Even if we settle and colonise space, what do we define as are borders? In this discussion I will analyze and speculate the various Border options and what I think would work best for Asgardia. Ignoring the Outer Space Treaty, OST, for now, as it can be rewrote and signed by Earth Nations giving the opportunity of our legitimacy.

Space in fact has not even been defined definitively by Earth Nations, however most except the 100km rule. With this rule do we claim our border at the 100km rule? This will not work in my opinion. Part of becoming a Nation is to be recognized by the other Nations of the world, namely key Nations such as the G5 and G20 Nations. A lot of these Nations have assets, civilian, scientific and military in nature beyond this region and given their interest they would not legitimize our call to be a Nation if that would place their assets within our borders.

So even though we are the Space Kingdom, perhaps we do not mean literal space. So then how do we define our borders?

I see two foreseeable options, both options have the same concept for other planets and large moons in which that settlements on these bodies are treated with the same regard as colonization and eventually the citizens of these bodies will need the ability to govern themselves and declare independence. Although that would take hundreds of years most likely.

First option is that everything beyond Geosynchronous orbit could be classified as our borders. This has a higher chance of being accepted by other Earth Nations and gives Asgardia the greatest control in space to oversea government, civilian, industrial and military activities ensuring the peace is kept and law is followed. This also gives Asgardia the greatest control of resources which is how our Nation will thrive. This is the hardest option however, even though it is easier than the 100km rule, it will still be a difficult task to convince the Nations of Earth to legitimize our being.

Second option is to only define borders surrounding our settlements, whether be in space, ie space stations, or on celestial bodies, ie moon colony. I don't think any Earth Nation would have an issue of this (ignoring the OST), unless they also have vested interest in the locations of which we would choose to place our colonies. This however extremely limits the control Asgardia has to ensure peace and law is kept. In this scenario, space is essentially international waters, a lawless, uncontrolled region of Earth. Nations and Corporations also have free reign over the resources if we don't place settlements near those resources. It may the easier option, however, this option will eventually be a lead cause to some of the same issues we see on Earth, mainly war and crime.

Our aim is to be peaceful and keep the peace in space. For this, I see only the first option to be viable to meet our goals. It won't be easy and will take a much longer time to convince and legitimize our being among the Earth Nations.

There are other options, these are the most straightforward and most likely to happen in my opinion. Leave your comments. Keep the conversation going.

Read my next blog on an Asgardia settlement on earth and how we can live in Asgardia within our generation and not just our grandchildren's generation.

It is possible and even necessary to fund and rely on ourselves to achieve our goal of Asgardia, as a true and realistic nation. In this regard, we must take advantage of all our available resources. There is no doubt that the mainstay investment available to the citizens of Asgardia at the present time is the diverse experiences of citizens, ie, to invest in talent. From this perspective, we can create a platform for the launch of several investment and commercial projects around the world, which will return its income to Asgardia as a basis for the establishment of an effective capital covering the expenses of the Government of Asgardia in the long term while providing real employment opportunities for Asgardian citizens wherever they are. It is expected that there will be many obstacles in this way but we can certainly overcome them if we truly believe in our nation and cooperate with each other and intensify our efforts and confidence in ourselves to achieve what we want with sincerity and transparency. On the other hand, any investment project needs the foundations to be based on and be successful and from these foundations, the necessary capital, the right place, and the specialized management of individuals, technicians and manpower capable of implementing the project. These fundamentals are almost available to us and by reviewing the huge number of applicants applying for citizenship, we find that there are specialties in all fields such as: business administration, accounting, computer technology, data processing, projects and construction, trade, export and production , and other disciplines that can benefit Of , which are considered as a stock of experiences and thus a gain for Agardia. As for the capital, which is the basis for these projects, with a simple calculation process, we can provide part of it to launch competitive medium projects. These projects can finance themselves at the beginning and then are developed to be larger and capable of launching and financing other projects. To be realistic, we can now start to collect the capital from the unlimited donations from citizens as much as possible, as well as donations from businessmen around the world who may be enthusiastic about the Asgardia concept. Here, media and propaganda play the role of promoting this idea to gain the most donations. (And Again we must sincerely thank Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli for taking the expenses of establishing the Asgardia nation and making this a concrete reality. We must continue to achieve this goal by completing what He has begun) . Of course, the concept of capital must be accompanied by the principle of the bank and hence the need for the establishment of the Central Bank of Asgardia and its branches around the world, which will be the first real project, and it can collect and invest funds. On this basis, the concept of cryptocurrency becomes ineffective if we are to create realistic projects and investments, and the need is for a real currency to compete against other currencies and able to speculate on global stock markets
