Bonjour à tous et toutes,

Je veux représenter ma commune pour que l'information sur Asgardia puisse passer même dans les confins de la campagne.

Je suis tellement heureuse de voir qu'une nation a un objectif commun et une envie d'unification, la chose n'est pas courante.

Je ne suis pas politicienne mais j'ai l'envie de croire en ce projet, certes je ne le verrai pas de ma vie, mais si nous pouvons changer l'idée que l'homme doit de diviser en humanité unifiée, je me sens le devoir de porte parole de cette idée.

Pourquoi ne devrions nous pas croire en l'évolution et en la possibilité d'un jour explorer l'espace? Je voudrais transmettre le message que l'unification permettrai de justement avancer plus vite dans les découvertes car tous se transmettraient les informations pour vivre ce rêve.

Je ne suis sans doute pas la plus qualifiée, mais j'ai envie de voir cette terre avancer et non reculer, j'ai la justice dans le sang et l'avenir d'une paix. Elle n'est illusoire que si l'on reste enfermer dans des stéréotypes définit par la société actuelle. Mais la vérité c'est que je ne supporte plus les dirigeants qui "divisent pour mieux régner". Je veux changer, même si peu soit-il, l'avenir de ce monde et faire un pas vers l'espace.

Je ne peux pas faire le changement seule, j'ai besoin de vous! Venez rejoindre les Asgardien.nes venez voter pour moi, pour construire ce rêve en réalité.

Une Unité, Une Humanité!

Bien à vous.

Back home from a trip to the Euro Space Center in the south of Belgium. It was interesting as i am somewhat interested in space-things. This facility is in first place to get children interested in all sorts of space related subjects and to enjoy the great hall where all sorts of astronauts equipment is installed to try out, even with 3D glasses to experience the exercises on other planets. I will post some photo's later on. I know also a woman Nancy who is ready to be astronaut but she has to wait till Frank resigns. :-) She does also space-training and works together with this Space Center. But more about her in a later blog-part. When i am selected as mayor i think i will go for this Space Center for kids as it is a major space facility here in Belgium and it also connects all space related persons in the center of Europe as it is part of ESA aka European Space Agency.

J'ai voulu amener ma contribution pour la Belgique même si j'ai découvert trop tard Asgardia, cela ne me gène pas. J'ai donc créer un Logo pour la Belgique et ainsi, pouvoir représenter les Belges, car je n'ai vu aucun logos pour mon pays. J'ai également créer une page facebook qui à l'origine s'appelait "Asgardia News-Belgium" ...mais après avoir demander sur la page officielle d'Asgardia; il semble que les Belges ne sont pas assez pour pouvoir avoir leur page. Je trouve cette réponse à l'encontre de la philosophie Asgardienne, j'ai donc renommé la page (puisque non officielle et rejetée par Asgardia) en " Apostates of Asgardia News - Belgium " Cela m'a mise en colère évidement. Je ne comprends pas comment on veut toucher les gens si on les rejette dès le départ. Cette façon de traiter les gens n'a RIEN à voir avec la philosophie dont se réclame la nation Asgardia. Alors? quel est le problème? si la page est vue tant mieux sinon ce n'est pas mort d'homme me semble-t-il.... Vous demandez de contribuez à la création de cette belle nation, mais à côté vous rejeter ceux qui veulent aider. Oui ça me met en colère!

I wanted to bring my contribution to Belgium even if I discovered too late Asgardia, that does not bother me. So I created a Logo for Belgium and so, to represent the Belgians, because I did not see any logos for my country. I also create a facebook page that was originally called "Asgardia News-Belgium" ... but after asking on the official page of Asgardia; it seems that the Belgians are not enough to have their page. I find this answer against the Asgardian philosophy, so I renamed the page (since unofficial and rejected by Asgardia) in "Apostates of Asgardia News - Belgium" That made me angry of course. I do not understand how we want to touch people if we reject them from the start. This way of treating people has nothing to do with the philosophy of the Asgardia nation. So? What is the problem? if the page is seen so much better otherwise it is not dead man seems to me .... You ask to contribute to the creation of this beautiful nation, but beside you reject those who want to help. Yes it makes me angry!

My congratulations to Igor for becoming the first head of nation and to all Asgardians for this step and the next ones to come. I feel honored to have been a part of this historic event and I even met with Igor. It was an amazing moment within an even more amazing inauguration. Igor is a very polite and interesting person, it was very nice to have a short conversation with him.

We had ready this big suppository  to host the European Medicines Agency in Barcelona but... it was no possible. We´ll try to think another idea to make useful this building. Maybe we will launch it to the space?

Teníamos preparado este gran supositorio para alojar a la Agencia Europea de los Medicamentos en Barcelona pero... no fue posible. Trataremos de pensar otra idea para darle utilidad a este edificio. ¿Tal vez lo lanzaremos al espacio?

Moral excellence is one of the foundations to swiftly move forward in the right direction as a species. Together with knowledge and hard (team)work, nothing would stop us.

I would be happy to receive your vote. This way I will be able to help Asgardia become an example for the rest of humanity.

Kind regards,

I am a normal guy who thinks the current political system is not in touch with the common people. They stand way above the rest and do not understand everyday problems. I want to represent us as just a normal guy who thinks like you and will act accordingly. Power to the people!
