We got about 22 candidates by now, august is just starting and we are quite some time in the by-election for the parliament. From those 22 candidates, I voted 8 with one actually in doubt a bit. But why Patrick, why would you do this? We need people in the Parliament to represent us and work for a great Asgardia. If I wanted people that can do poems, rip-off speaking opinions that came from Facebook or not even a mention of what they are going to do for me, representing my vote within the parliament. Then I have to disappoint you, you will not receive my vote of confidence. I need to know that you will do actually something in there, that you have the vision to get in. I am actually surprised that Asgardia allowed such bad candidate profiles to be allowed for voting? It's just sad to see 75% of those folks that did apply didn't even explain one tiny bit of what they want to do, what they want to focus on, or what they bring to the table to change something in Asgardia. So for future candidates...you want my vote? Get a good Candidate Profile. If Asgardia Parliament wants more candidates...lower the age requirement and I know for sure you will get more folks.

Dear Asgardians, in a difficult world we have to see a bright future. A future where we can live all in one safe haven. A safe haven called space ! Space where we have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves. On earth we say the sky is the limit. Not for us asgardians where the universe is the limit without limits. Giving new life in space is one of our goals. Together we can make mankind great again Together we can live in peace Together we can make this work ! I will give everything in my possibilities to make this happen together with a great team of people, so if you want me in parliament, do not hasitate to vote for me !

Today I noticed that the by election is going with more candidates. But in my fair opinion it is way to low, we got 13 out of 55 candidates currently on the page, without taking into account that I didn’t vote for all of them. This alone is proof enough to me that the constitution needs to be edit. Lower the age of that is required to be a candidate. There is a petition, which pretty much reach deaf ears. Why? Think about it.. I make a petition, got to promote it, with almost no network, I can’t abuse my discord powers to get everyone attention. So reaching 1000 votes (with a voting system that barely works) is impossible. I made a plead to bring this to the table, only got the info that it was discussed and nothing else happened afterwards. But now we are looking at a pretty sad start of the by election. So I plead to the parliament to look at the age criteria to be lowered... or the real election will be a disaster.

Cinematic with Wolfe (Greyhound) Storyline ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Presentation ⭐⭐⭐ Actors ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Summary: Ah the movie that I have been looking forward to, Greyhound. A movie with Tom Hanks as the main star to Captain the ship Greyhound. Their mission, get the convoy to England at any cost. The story is not a slow build up, it throws you at once into it and before you know it you are middle of already a combat situation. The tension that is building up in certain moments of the story is greatly explained and done. The presentation was a bit lacking to my taste, sometimes you could just see that certain elements came from a 3D program. But all-in-all is that made up by the balance acting of Tom Hanks that gives everyone on the ship that glory of being on the main screen. Is this as good as 1917? No, but it is a great movie to look that keeps you locked at the screen until they arrive in England...or do they?

When elected as a Member of Parliament I want to support all aspects of Asgardian progress. I can especially contribute strongly to three areas: 1. Enriching & accelerating Asgardia’s science roadmap Encouraged by research from SpaceBorn United, I see many opportunities we can unlock and translate into feasible mission designs that enable reproduction in space step by step. 2. Uniting people of all regions, races & religions Enabling reproduction in space is crucial to becoming a multi-planetary species. This beautiful and important step in our evolution is something that should include & unite people worldwide. 3. Expanding Asgardia's expert network Asgardia's already impressive network can be further expanded through my specialist contacts in research and industry relating to missions supporting human procreation in space. My experience in developing ARTIS (Assisted Reproductive Technology in Space) provides a pathway to the first stages of reproduction in space: conception and early embryo development. In addition, I am involved in researching the conditions and mission designs for actual childbirth in space. Asgardia's key scientific goal has the potential to unite many people and enrich global self-esteem, demonstrating strong ethical values that I wholeheartedly support. This is why my company, SpaceBorn United, includes 'United' in its name. I believe that combining my network of research and industry partners with Asgardia's network can help accelerate the scientific innovations that will not only inspire Asgardians, but also the global space life science sector and many others. It will also provide valuable business potential, including biomedical innovations that will benefit Asgardia's economy, the space sector in general, and practical Earth applications. Personal resilience On a personal level, I believe I can inspire other people (both within and outside Asgardia) to hold on to big dreams and work hard to make them a reality. In my life I have overcome adversity in many ways, several times coming close to giving up on my goals. but always finding ways to persevere and continue towards my dreams. It would be an honour to serve as an MP and in doing so contribute to realising Asgardia's inspiring goals and dreams for both now and the future. 'A small step for a baby, but a giant baby step for mankind'

Me and my colleagues at SpaceBorn United felt really honored our work has also been included in the prestigious BKC Journal. Я и мои коллеги из SpaceBorn United почувствовали, что наша работа также была включена в престижный журнал BKC.

It’s no secret, I envy those that got the ability to sign up for this election. Because i’m 31 years old I don’t meet the requirements. So I got to sit this one on the sidelines watching you all. But this message is a plead to those on the field. If you love the title, do it for the Solar, been itching to bent people to your will or other lust desires. Then don’t apply, don’t run, don’t taint the position. The seat is way above those standards, I see it as an honest, hardworking and passionate position to thrive beyond any borders to achieve Asgardia the strength it deserves. Are you willing to fight for Asgardia future, are you willing to work with other people, are you passionate to do what needs to be done. Then apply and don’t wait for four months until the elections are over, but act now, act to better Asgardia and help it to grow. Be part of community projects, help the volunteer center or sign the below petition that benefits more Asgardia that share your passion to help Asgardia. You may be in disagreement of the age, but keep in mind, if it passes the parliament must talk about it and you can be in that seat discussing the right age! - https://asgardia.space/en/petitions/98716-change-in-parliament-candidate-age-for-general-election/ Don’t wait for the change, start it today candidate and I will vote for you :)

Currently a lot has happened and while it is not much information, it is information I want to share with you all in regards to our Volunteer Center. I do want to amplify greatly that we are grateful for our Volunteers in all the energy they pour into doing their work for us. So while I might not mention it in this small update of Behind the Curtains. Both Rebekah and I wish to say **Thank you** for helping out, your work matters. And **Thank you** Asgardians for giving us feedback, suggestions and ideas to improve Asgardia. https://soundcloud.com/rawolfe/behind-the-curtains-update-1

To the title question, No i’m not quiet but working quite hard as a volunteer for Asgardia Volunteer Center. A center that needs attention, but I still keep my eye peaked at the website or discord to see the wonderful ideas and suggestions of fellow Asgardians. So while i’m not very talkative, know I am still here, just focused on doing my part for Asgardia and all of you <3

Storyline ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Presentation ⭐⭐⭐ Actors ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Summary: Sometimes its good to take a step back in movies that had not received its glory due to the COVID. One of those movies got another shot and that is Line of Duty. A movie that was supposed to be set in 2019, got released in 2020. With the leads played by Courtney Eaton and Aaron Eckhart. Let's begin about this magical duo, they both have the goals that got merge into one with a great acting work of both of them. While they had the main lead, the other actors fulfilled their parts within the borders made. The story was a slow-starter, but it kept my attention for quite some bit as every scene had something unique, something that draws you to the screen to keep watching. The story of some unrealistic facts and some real time problems that came to light perfectly. The ending, while predicted, was still enough to keep my attention. If I had to give some critics was it the presentation, some slobby decor work and overdoing on some drifting with cars was not really needed. Overall I do encourage people to go to this movie! If you like a time eating adventure then this is really your thing!

Hey all, I posted a very important petition that would give the chance for people to be able to participate in our parliament election :D Check it out! https://asgardia.space/en/petitions/98716-change-in-parliament-candidate-age-for-general-election/

A few loose thoughts would be great also here, it is, after all, a social network. What I loved doing before the whole COVID situation is to go to the movies. Enjoy it and at the end gave my personal opinion about it without spoiling anything. Storyline ⭐⭐ Presentation ⭐⭐⭐ Actors ⭐⭐⭐ Summary The first movie after a three months of not able to go to the movies was Bloodshot. With the lead actor of non-other Vin Diesel that plays a military trapped in a loop situation. The storyline on its own was in my fair opinion quite weak, it was more aimed at the guns, fancy cars, and actions that happened throughout the story. You could easily predict where the story was going for and what the end would be. Presentation is quite good, the animations that were used in this movie was top quality and it made it pleasurable if not curious to look at everything that was placed in this movie. I see mostly the common mistake in movies that when there is one famous actor in it, it has to focus on that actor only, the other actors have no real solid background and it was in the beginning rather confusing of what was going on. On the positive side, there were some humor situation, some heart to heart talks, and short build-up of friendships. The movie itself gets 3 stars from me, I expected more of it. But it is an action movie, after all, hopefully you enjoy it more!

Good day fellow Asgardians, I've been quite active on the boards and you might have seen a few posts from me here and there. Giving ideas and potential brain tinkers to think about stuff that are needed for a nation. I am grateful for the wonderful feedback thus far, but there is an obstacle that came to light for me the past few days. And that is the invisible border between the Asgardians and Parliament, and I am not here to point fingers, or to accuse anyone but do continue to read what I have to say. There are quite some interesting ideas being poured into the social network of Asgardia and on the Discord server that recently opened up. I noticed that people are passionate about their ideas and want to go full power into it. But I do also notice that, while not meant with any ill intention, some ideas already been discussed in parliament. This results in a slap in the face for an Asgardian that had a positive intention to be involved. Again, this might be not the intention of the Parliament as they seek to connect with the Asgardians. I spoke with MP Dell yesterday evening about this invisible wall that keeps us separate and is tied to all rules of confidential information. Why is it confidential? Because people might interpret an unfinished law, project, or idea before it is finished. This is pure to avoid confusion or riots so to speak...something I totally support, but at the same time, it is that same invisible wall that keeps us separate where we actually should be united. So where am I going with this? What is my goal with this and what is transparency in this whole post? The idea is that the Parliament shares its projects with the Asgardians on a comfortable level for both parties. I made a quick example of how I imagine that to happen by the image attached in this post. With the knowledge that there are 12 committees (correct me if I am wrong) present within the parliament and the knowledge that I know that they only approve or discuss the legalization of law and policy. But also know that they are part of the committeez. I came up with the idea to create a docket that simply shows the committee name, what the title is of their project or task and the duration of that project. This way it makes it transparent for the Asgardians and maybe also for the Parliament what everyone is doing, you can see the bigger picture and you have structure. Now maybe I don't make friends with this idea, but I am trying to find ideas to break down this barrier that is between us. Because united we stand far better then the current setting where beautiful ideas are published here and discord but never see daylight. The docket idea is one that might be that step forward to connect the two most important groups of Asgardia. I have wonderful ideas from a network of medical society to say sponsorship of NASA type of space competitions. But they require to be seen, heard, and not be a copy of something that is already in the making. Again don't see this as a complaint, because that is not my intention with this post.
