The time as we detect it is linked to two constant values ​​of speed and distance. In fact, our planet turns on itself with a constant speed traveling 40,000 kilometers before a point is facing the sun at the same point the day before. Conventionally, therefore a human choice, the distance has been divided into 24 sectors that correspond to the daily hours, as 24 are the time zones (+ 12 and - 12 compared to the Greenwich meridian). On this basis we measure "time". The equatorial dimension of the planet in relation to two points, one placed on earth and the other fixed in space when they are aligned twice in succession, we know that 40,000 kilometers have been traveled. If instead we were on Jupiter, for example, the planet turns on itself in 10 hours of Earth's time. A very short day; on the contrary, the year on Jupiter corresponds to 12 rotations of the earth around the sun 4,380 earth days; 10,512 days of Jupiter. Time is closely linked to what are the parameters and conventions that we place at the basis of its measurement.  An imaginary Jupiter 4-year-old Jupiter on earth would be a 48-year-old adult. Everything is relative Hi Dirk

Brian Forrester from Peru does research on ancient megalithic structures. Through his travels has found evidence of a possible past solar event that could have decimated the planet. There is another researcher phonomial travel videos that mainly studies structures in India. Plus with a South African project called the ubunto movement I think. He talked about how the stones ring like bells and other fascinating things.

Hi Dirk We certainly don't know everything about the ancients or we are probably just beginning to understand that they knew a lot. Without disturbing various interpretations, I can tell you, for example, that the pyramids are not only the Egyptian and Aztec or Mayan ones, there are very large ones also in Europe. Not long ago (a few years) two were found in the Balkans and are now subject to somewhat confidential studies due, I presume, also to the still delicate situation of the states and ethnic groups that made up the Yugoslav federation. What are the pyramids for? It is still a not completely solved dilemma. On the Indian continent, the sacred texts of the "Vimana" are spoken of, whose description coincides with what modern aircraft do (they were written thousands of years ago). Technologically evolved civilizations? Could be. If, absurdly, due to a cataclysm of any kind, even our current civilization disappeared, very few things would be able to overcome a few millennia of barbarization and involution of civilization. He thinks it is estimated that the mere loss of electricity would plunge our civilization 150/200 years back into full age of steam locomotives and candles or oil for lighting. What history teaches is that the more civilization has evolved the more sensitive it is to extreme events, proof of this is what is happening with the current epidemic. The economic damage that our advanced civilization has suffered is comparable to that of a medium intensity war lasting 3/4 years. Certainly the civilizations of the past arose on the ashes of the previous ones using what their predecessors had left. In Italy many of the buildings that had made ancient Rome great, after the collapse, were literally dismantled to make modest homes for ordinary people who needed shelter. Space is knowledge is a challenge to the unknown, even if 70% of the planet's seas are unexplored. Rich in raw materials but difficult to access. It would not be very rational to leave so much unexplored and go towards the unknown sidereal. It is part of the human being: the bigger the unknown the more he is attracted to it. It is important that what was unknown and revealed today is preserved and passed on to future generations. We need to invent some alternative system to computer memories because their durability does not exceed 10/15 years before starting to deteriorate think the old and sometimes snubbed paper book if well preserved and produced with quality materials lives a few hundred years . How to say a lot of technology, little duration, little technology, long duration; this is not the case, the pyramids are the result of advanced technologies, they are the materials used which, due to their quality and processing method, have passed the millennia. Let's learn from ancient engineering, let's improve and transmit them, let's take them to Mars. P.S.The ancients CME's knew them even if not with the current scientific explanations. Greetings MAX

Around Europe there are companies that produce personalized watches both in design and in the clock face. These are: 1) Identify a watch manufacturer that is interested 2) check availability for purchase by collecting reservations on a model agreed with the Authorities (let's not forget that we treat the symbol of Asgardia and / or its image). 3) Publish, with the consent of the authorities, on the Asgardia website, this availability and the purchase value. Good idea and good job. Go ahead and propose to the Authorities. A greeting.

One other solution will be to have addittive manufacturing in space, so debris can be recycled in orbit. Drone has the duty to collect debris for manufacturing directly in space. The debris can be used as fuel for special design engine like this chinese study: https://arxiv.org/vc/arxiv/papers/1511/1511.07246v1.pdf It will not only make space exploration economically sustainable and safe, using again and again satellites hardware and do not burn them in the atmosphere and send into space earth resources when not necessary.

Considered how the world of electronics is evolving When a drone will be available for relocation jobs in higher orbits, but within the wan halen bands Asgardia 1 will be of obsolete technology. Personally I would study a new type of satellite equipped with maneuvering motors capable of recovering the orbit's decay and a plug-in structure capable of replacing the satellite core thus updating the capabilities and extending its potential life. Let's not forget the orbital sweep and the micrometeorites which always represent a part of the imponderable part of the cosmos.

Hi Dirk It is not said that an eruption a related phenomenon is the increase in the voltage or temperatures of the magma with acceleration of the flow. This can cause seismic activity and since the map you are showing is the Pacific coast of the United States ... They expect the Big One too! We hope that the triggering elements necessary for this earthquake that is predicted as catastrophic will not occur.
