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.

ENG: We have entered a new year as the citizens of the space nation that existed in the territory of the world. Sometimes I think about my childhood. I was dreaming. I often dreamed of toys. I wish it would snow. But the snow in my area was a miracle. Now I have children and they dream the same. I agree with my children about toys, but it still seems impossible to snow. Anyway now I've grown up and no longer dreaming for myself but for our children. And on the one hand, I am working hard to realize my dreams. We have entered the year 2020 in the world, but we have entered 0004 with our young nation. In short, it's time to think fast and run. Time goes by so fast. TUR: Dünya topraklarında var olan uzay ulusu vatandaşları olarak yeni bir yıla daha girmiş bulunmaktayız. Bazen çocukluluğumu düşünüyorum. Hayal kuruyordum. Hayalimde genellikle oyuncaklar olurdu. Birde kar yağmasını isterdim. Fakat benim yaşadığım bölgede kar yağması mucize gibi bir şeydi. Şimdi ise çocuklarım var ve onlarda aynı benim hayal kuruyor. Oyuncaklar konusunda çocuklarımla hem fikiriz fakat kar yağması hala imkansız görünüyor. Neyse şimdi ise büyüdüm ve artık kendim için değil çocuklarımız için hayaller kuruyorum. Ve bir taraftanda kurduğum hayalleri gerçekleştirmek için var gücümle çalışıyorum. Dünyada 2020 yılına girdik, fakat genç ulusumuzla 0004 yılına girmiş bulunmaktayız. Kısacası hızlı düşünüp koşma zamanı. Zaman çabuk geçiyor.

I just wanted to take some time to personally and thoroughly thank each and every person whom voted for me. I will aspire to be the best I can be, and I will live up to the confidence you have shown in me. I understand there is a level of trust and integrity one expect from the candidate they vote for in any election, and I will strive with all my might to achieve and maintain that standard. This has never been about me, but about all of you! Again, I thank you more than mere words can convey! As we say in the skydiving community: Blue skies! Always.

Hola, soy Marcos de Vigo, España. No me gusta utilizar la palabra lider por que pienso que crea una diferencia entre unos y otros.

Asgardia está formada por multitud de mentes pensantes que quieren aportar cosas buenas a su desarrollo y es necesario que todo esté bien organizado.

Mi objetivo es ser ese punto de unión entre vosotros y la organización. Pienso que el que tiene la habilidad en alguna cosa debe dedicar tiempo y estar muy concentrado en desarrollarlo. No veo a un físico que pueda aportar grandes cosas a Asgardia organizando a los ciudadanos.

Me presento a lider local por que pienso que es necesaria la fugura del organizador y tengo gran experiencia en ello.

Si eres de Galicia o del norte de Portugal, te invito a que me des tu confianza para hacer un grupo representativo de nuestra zona y entre todos aportar nuestro potencial a este pronecto.

Podremos estabtlecer reuniones periódicas, sacar conclusiones, y establecer una hoja de ruta que haga que no perdamos tiempo individualmente.

En Vigo y en Galicia tenemos grandes avances en estudios de tecnología y desarrollo espacial. Tenemos que involucrar a toda esa gente a colatorar con Asgardia.

Gracias por tu atención.

Un abrazo.

Hi, I'm Marcos from Vigo, Spain. I do not like to use the word leader because I think it creates a difference between them.

Asgardia is formed by a multitude of thinking minds who want to contribute good things to their development and it is necessary that everything is well organized.

My goal is to be that point of union between you and the organization. I think that the one who has the skill in some thing must devote time and be very concentrated in developing it. I do not see a physicist who can bring great things to Asgardia by organizing citizens.

I introduce the local leader because I think that the organizer's departure is necessary and I have a lot of experience in it.

If you are from Galicia or northern Portugal, I invite you to give me your confidence to make a representative group of our area and among all contribute our potential to this project.

We can set up regular meetings, draw conclusions, and establish a road map that will not waste time individually.

In Vigo and Galicia we have great advances in studies of technology and spatial development. We have to get all these people involved with Asgardia.

Thanks for your attention.

A hug.

Hello Everyone!

I heard about Asgardia our nation today. I'm a new member. I would like to introduce myself a bit.
Unfortunately, I have exam in two days of my General Surgery Rotation I couldn't explore much more about Asgardia right now but it captivated me.

Anyways, it's my pleasure to meet you all!
My nickname is Bonus, born on 20th January. I am a passionate girl from Thailand, studying 4th year Medicine in Bucharest, Romania, who likes trolling. I am known for spontaneity to say things I think with people. I am pretty creative. Like some ideas should be proved impossible after we have tried, right? Mostly I can't wait to share my ideas to anyone willing to listen to it. I like symmetry. The Asgardia Calendar's symmetry and perfection really interests me.

My favourite quote: Any possibilities occur in listening.
You know what? Humans' interests, if not towards the same goal, can't sync together to form one achievement. And that is why Asgardia is on the way now to be real as a space nation, right?

هيا لنجعل من أسكارديا وطننا للعيش والأمن والسلام و لمساعدة سكان الارض

Let's make Ascardia our nation for life, security and peace and to help the people of the Earth

This message is a hope for realizing the goal of building a suitable place to live because we need the Escardia, the earth lives both internal and external threats, and such an initiative is necessary so that humanity can secure life in this beautiful universe

Faisons d'Ascardia notre nation pour la vie, la sécurité et la paix et pour aider les gens de la Terre
Ce message est un espoir pour réaliser l'objectif d’édifier un lieu convenable pour vivre parce que nous avons besoin d'Escardia, la Terre vit des menaces internes et externes, et une telle initiative est nécessaire pour que l'humanité  puisse sécuriser la vie dans ce bel univers

لنجعل من أسكارديا أمتنا للحياة والأمن والسلام ومساعدة شعوب الأرض
هذه الرسالة هي الأمل في تحقيق هدف بناء مكان مناسب للعيش لأننا بحاجة إلى إسكارديا، الأرض تعيش تهديدات داخلية وخارجية، ومثل هذه المبادرة ضرورية  لحياة آمنة للبشرية في هذا الكون الجميل

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

Sayın Uğur Aydın,öncelikle istediğiniz kişilerin tamamını  bu resime uyarlayamadım. Bunun yerine istediğiniz diğer Parlemento Üyelerini bir önceki gönderimde yer edindirdim. Umarım beğenirsiniz. Elimden bu kadar bir çalışma geliyor çünkü ben profesyonel bir tasarımcı değilim. :)

İyi Günler.

Sıradaki Asgardlı Kim Olsun?
