Visione. Futuro disconnesso. Lacerante abbandono della Madre Terra. Distacco. Il vuoto cosmico recide chirurgicamente il cordone. L'uomo è ora un essere senziente privato della riconciliazione materna. L'era della Madre giunge al termine. Uomo Madre Padre e figlio di se stesso.  Uomo Uroboro. Freddo. Contatto reciso. Orizzonte. Esplorazione. Visione di un futuro necessario. Passo evolutivo. Antropologia. Antropologia di un nuovo uomo. Un uomo abitante delle stelle.

The reason I joined Asgardia is because I wanted to be part of a bigger community. I wanted to be involved with a group of people that just want to make things better for the many, and not the few. I have been involved with political parties here on earth, however they never truly resonated with me.

If you vote for me, I will do everything I can to make sure Asgardia is a nation you'd be proud to raise your children in. I want to make sure it's the closest, most active and friendliest nation that has ever existed, making sure the constitution is respected and followed at all times.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

Launch Day Presentation Live Stream: The Rundown

By Ross Cheeseright | November 11, 2017

“It’s like Christmas has come early” was the tag-line from Lena as she spoke of the successful launch of our Satellite into space. She expressed her gratefulness to all the Asgardian citizens for their hard work and remarked on what a momentous day this was. Hearts were flying on the Facebook stream as Lena took the time to outline details of the launch.

Once she was finished covering the details of the launch, she also took the time to further discuss some important questions from the community.

You can view the full stream on Facebook or on YouTube .

The volunteer teams have transcribed the live stream in it's entirety if you'd like more information here .

Space Exploration

1. Antares & Cygnus blasted off flawlessly
2. Our satellite is on board as a payload
3. Flight will last 2 days due to orbital mechanics.
4. Doesn’t fly straight up, flies around the earth and catches up with the ISS ‘chasing it’ and the docks.
5. Therefore, the launch window is so short to make sure that you end up where you want to be depending on the flight and the chase.
6. Yesterday, it didn’t launch on schedule
   1. Everything needs to be right fuel, payload, safety checks
   2. The weather must be good
   3. Air and space needs to be clear in case of something going wrong.
   4. As the rocket flies, parts drop off when they fulfil their function, so it needs to be clear.
   5. Airspace needs to be clear and airplanes need to stay away.
   6. 2 minutes before launch, systems were ready, and weather was good, and they discovered an air-plane in the launch-zone.
   7. The Launch window is so short and due to the plane entered the cleared zone, we ended up losing our launch windows (which was just 5 minutes)
7. Wallop is a large viewing site and lots of public was there to watch.
8. It was arranged that our Head of Nation would be allowed on the rooftop of the building in a security clearance location escorted by armed agents, this allowed for a nice private viewing location.
9. On the 12 ^th the weather wasn’t quite as good, but it went off smoothly.
10. 12 ^th of October 2016 announced the birth of the nation – been exactly 13 months since the pledge was made.
11. Lots of sceptics and nonbelievers who didn’t believe we could do it can now see that we’re serious
12. Proud to say that we did what we said we would do.
13. We might not be moving very fast, but we’re thinking carefully about what we’re doing, we’re only making promises that we can keep and we’re delivering on our promise.
14. There is still a lot of sceptics, there is a lot of grey area and uncertainty, but we’re committed to taking it forward. One humanity, one unity.
15. Asgardia is philosophical at this stage in its life.
16. There is no law that says that any country must be attached to the surface of the earth.
17. No law that says the country needs to be big enough to host its population.
18. No law that says you’re obliged to reside in the country of which you are a citizen.
19. You can still send personal data to the satellite
20. It will be possible to upload every couple of weeks
21. There will be another satellite being sent up. Asgardia guarantees a permanent presence in space.
22. Another satellite will be sent up in time to ‘overlap’ with Asgardia-1 to make sure of our permanent presence in space.
23. All Asgardians are entitled to their place in our satellite (virtually)

How is it we see the organization of groups that call themselves Pro-black, Pro-female, Pro-religion..... A benefit to society, when in fact as it is known for every action there is an opposite and equal re-action. And the very creation of these groups inspires one to think, wheres the freedom in being made to feel as though if you do not relate to a "Pro" group, and that you must be a non-contributing member of the movement for Freedom and Equality if you do not belong to any such group. But the reality is if you are Pro-black.. You are Anti-white, if you are Pro-female.. You are Anti-male, if you are Pro-religion.. you are judgemental of those who are not..

Just a paradoxial thought..

So if you want some friendly advice, in order to truly begin your journey towards freedom, embrace that you must not find one thing amongst this earth greater or less than yourselves but always equal to.

Asgardia needs a good coordinator to see itself grow and flourish. A person that can not only see the big picture but make it come about. I am nominating myself for this position, raising 4 boys, a lovely wife, two jobs, and multiple hobbies and leadership responsibilities, this position was made for me.
