Sex in space: Sex sells, so I thought to start with that :) I think we'll manage sex, what comes after it another matter. I think human babies will not be able to form a normal bone structure without gravity. For colonization in the future we'll have to solve those issues and also related issues for plants and animals.

Think clearly: Humans make the same mistakes over and over again. A good book is 'The art of thinking clearly' from Rolf Dobelli (2014, ISBN 978-1-444-75956-3). Even he makes thinking mistakes when explaining other mistakes. Better read it and avoid most of those mistakes.

Keep it simple: rules, finance: For some reason people like to make things complicated. The want to solve problem with new rules and regulation even when the return on investment is clearly negative. Go for the pareto rule: 80-20, 20% of effort for 80% of the solution. Stop there unless human lives are at stake (1/10000 to die, also stop there). And only solve problems where more than 5% of the population has severe difficulties and history has proven that they can only be adressed by setting some rules.

For finance, make no debt as a nation, for firms it's fine if they have a fair chance that the interest payments are more than 5% lower than the added value gained. For individuals, there is a good book 'The richest man in Babylon' from George S. Clason (1926, free eBook on the internet).

To grasp how economy works look at 'How the economic machine works' from Ray Dalio (2013, video on youtube; there is also a paper that goes in more detail).

For terrestrial nations I find there should be only 2 taxes: on the amount of territory you use for your activities (like living, industry; i.e. 70 €/m2) and value added tax (i.e. 10%). Also I'm for a base income. It's a completely different approach but it's simple and effective. Companies would only need 2 registers: in and out. On buying products they pay value added tax like everyone, on selling the customers pay them. That is it: no tax on profit, financial transaction, wages, ... The strategic advantage that a nation would get over other nations that will still use the current system will be astronomical.

Vote for arguments, not rules: When making rules, the individual arguments (including those that were not followed) are almost never present or explained and why they are withoutheld and why not. So future generations always have to guess why a rule is made. This is also the case with the Asgardian constitution. I see rules that conflict each other so I'm missing information. With the opportunity for a new nation I find we need to get at least this right.

Language: When going to 1 language, it's better to make a new one. Start with the human side, an alphabet that is easy to write, a simple and consistent speech and then make it suitable for electronic communication. Just a few elements to consider: 1,i,l look too much alike; so keeping only figures, steno would be nice but will be impractical to adapt for electronic communication, spoken japanese is very consistent and has a logical structure (but maybe better not to put the verbs at the end) and don't forget people who are impaired.

Privacy: In these times where everyone finds it normal that everything is puplic, it's actually not such a good idea in general. It is essential that people have their private space. I'm strongly opposed to a world like in 'Brave new world' from Aldous Huxley (1932, free eBook on the internet). The way things go, we might end up there sooner than later.

Green-house effect: The solution lies in changing the refraction of the planet. Current measures won't do. I'm estimating a rise in sea levels in the next 10 years for at least a few meters.

Extra padding: Some people have aquired some extra padding. Look how glucose is processed in the body and realize that is prevent the buring of fat.

Last note: Time is precious, so I will only elaborate on these topics if it makes a difference. I'll defend the ways of logic while stressing that rules should be used sparsely so people can live instead of just survive.

As we have a good foundation now with 100k+ golden citizens we can start to build our nation with the parliament that will have 150 members out of 12 language groups. In the same time the government is being formed which will help us with professional help.

We are also getting closer to the launch of our first satellite named Asgardia-1, which will put our golden citizens virtually in space with 1GB+ of data from the citizens.

Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli announced that there will be a space-ark in orbit and also a base on the moon in the future, but first there will be work done for a satellite constellation.

Our CEO Lena, the administrators and volunteers are doing a great job to guide us all into this adventure into space. There are also regular interviews for questions live and later as video on the Internet, like for example tomorrow 21 October 2017 / 14 October 0001.

Hope to see you all around here and don't hold back to give some input.

Greetings, Dirk.

Control this madness before it's too late....
With the enabling of social media, constant connectivity and mobile devices, the world as become a village. That's a slogan. Everyone is only a few connections (e.g. facebook) separated from everyone else on earth. Yet we walk around as strangers (in the night), more busy with recording the surroundings on our mobile devices, but not interacting with the physical person standing next to us! Unite, one people, but do not forget to interact with your neighbors "in real life". And help "in real live". Socialize.

We are not alone in Space ; so, we ought to, we have to change our way of life. We must use Free Energy right now. We have to protect our home, The Earth and, of course, the Space, our new destination.

To do this, Asgardia must become a great nation ! Become member...

ASGARDIA IS THE INITIATIVE THAT I WAS WAITING FOR.  AS AN OLD SOUL BEING ON EARTH FOR THE 1ST TIME I FIND MYSELF AWAKENING EARTHLINGS (SOULS FROM EARTH). I LOVE IT WHEN EARTHLINGS ARE UNITING IN 1 FRONT TO SHOW THE DIVIDED WORLD THAT PEOPLE CAN WORK TOGETHER EVEN IF THEY HAVE DIFFERENT ROOTS, COLOR, RELIGION, ... THE MOST IMPORTANT POWER IS LOVE, AND IF ASGARDIA IS STANDING FOR LOVE, I CAN ONLY PROMOTE THIS AND BE A PART OF IT.

LET'S SPREAD THIS LOVE TOGETHER IN ASGARDIA. LEADERSHIP AND RULES WILL BE NEEDED, BUT EVERY SINGLE ASGARDIAN THAT WILL JOIN US IN THE ACTUAL SPACE- OR MOON STATION WILL HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT JOB. WITHOUT THE COLLABORATION OF INDIVIDUALS, WE CAN NOT MAINTAIN THE ASGARDIAN DREAM. LET'S BE BETTER AND TRANSCEND AND REALIZE THIS VISION AND SHOW THE WORLD HOW THINGS NEED TO BE DONE.

LOT'S OF LOVE!

DAVID

Hello my name is Yann I am 25 years old
I am a pharmacy student and intend to take a PhD in Cell Biology

My first language is French but I am not bad in English

I hope to bring my knowledge and my passion for science to the community.

I don't forget to read the constiution ;)

Have a Good Day !

Theory Milky-Way,

We say that the universe started with a big bang. But what if the universe itself
it limitless older then we can understand. Imagine there where 2 galaxies that
collided not so long ago and that now formed our milky-way. Tis is a plausible
theory as galaxies can only grow by melting together. So from what galaxy are
we coming from, from the older bigger one or the recent smaller one. Go!

Grtz, Dirk.

Tensions - Magnetism

Thoughts:

Humans: tensions are regulated by magnetism
Stars: produce tensions which result in magnetism
Space: magnetic fields is a result of magnetism
Universe: magnetism is main workforce due to the tensions of stars and black-holes.

Thoughts?

Grtz, Dirk.

I have a problem with the homepage.
What in my view would be more important at this moment is to concentrate on the interview from 13 June (dated 19/05).
And not at the changing of an inside document (dated 18/05) which should not be on top but at second place.

Grtz, Dirk.
