As modern technology advances but our planets resources are running out the way we are poluting the environment, and therefor eachother has the rational and moral need to change course. Space therefor has become more relevant than ever before, it provides us a better way of communicating, networking and cross-level collaborating through different parties. However the question remains if we need to restore our balance on earth first before we explore further.

"Man must rise above the Earth - to the top of the atmosphere and beyond - for only thus he will fully understand the world in which he lives" - Socrates 400 BC

Planet Earth

According to the history books planet Earth, or Gaia in Greek mythology exists for over 4.51 billion years. That is a number that you and I cannot comprehend throughout these years, the earth has therefor experienced drastic changes, from the Ice age which has happened around approximately 2,6 million years ago to our current environmental pollution, higher carbon dioxide levels, decrease biodiversity just to name a few. Humanity however exists for over 200.000 years whereby our civilisation as we know only is 6.000 years old. In fact humanity has and have been speeding up the process of global warming, which in the coming years will only rise even more, according to Nature Climate Change (NCC) the recent temperature increase are also tied to an increase number of suicide rates which is hard to grasp, to anticipate on this rise we have to look at alternative resources cause the numbers don't lie. In the statistics below you can see the Global temperature rise. Stats by Berkeley Earth

Space 4.0

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF) the start of the so called Space Age began in 1957. Throughout the times different other corporations and organisations such as Elon Musk - SpaceX and Richard Branson - Virgin Galactic have been emerged and more and more are coming to be a promising market. The European Space Agency (ESA) calls this evolution Space 4.0 whereby Space 1.0 stands for astronomy that we are still using today to analyse space for as far as we can observe. Space 2.0 the race when different nations where in competition for the moon landings, Space 3.0 became more of a unity of an international space station for example the ISS and Space 4.0 according to The European Space Agency (ESA) will be an establishment of an United Europe in Space for the benifits of citizens and the European economy to also compete with other nations, private companies, academia and other space actors in the coming decades.

History

Since a young age I've always been fascinated about space, as a kid I remembered that I could watch the stars for hours at night exploring satelites, planes and falling stars. An inspring quote that fascinated me through my research, life and to explore those uknown boundaries in general is a quote from the famous Greek philosopher Socrates an individual who had a great influence on the western philosophy in general, I quote: "Man must rise above the Earth - to the top of the atmosphere and beyond - for only thus he will fully understand the world in which he lives" - Socrates 400 BC. According to the history books Plato; a student of Socrates was one of the individuals that followed his philosphy in combination with the wisdom and knowledge of philosopher and scientist Aristoteles. Inspiring humanity to think different, evolve and connect was the message they where spreading. "Knowing that I know nothing" I think is a vulnerable but powerfull statement to enter the unknown universe as an united humanity with all it's imperfections included.

بلاخلا روزی انسان به آرامی می ماند و در فضای کشوری مستقل می سازد و به زندگی ادامه خواهد داد. این اتفاق می افتد نخواهیم خواهد افتاد.

Merhaba Asgardian arkadaşlar. Seninle olmaktan mutluyum. Ben bir keşif bilimcisiyim. Mesajım: dünyadaki ilk "kendimiz" olmalıyız! Doğal durumumuzdan ciddi bir çıkış var! Sonra evrensel bir rezonansa dönüşür. Yeni bir dünyaya sahip oluruz, bir boşluk!
aksi halde kirlilik taşırız!
Sevgi ve saygıyla ...

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.

Leave the men where they lay
They'll never see another day
Lost my soul, lost my dream
You can't take the sky from me.

I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.

Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity

And you can't take the sky from me.

Viele Hände - ein Ziel.

Ich möchte anhand eines weiteren Projektes, an dem ich teilnehme, zeigen, wie viele Hände ein einziges Ziel verfolgen können.

Das SETI Projekt (Suche nach Außerirdischen intelligenz), sucht mithilfe von Radioteleskopen den Nachthimmel u.a. nach Fast Radio Bursts, um eventuell Intelligentes Leben außerhalb unseres Planetaren Systems zu finden.

Bereits in den alten James Bond filmen taucht eines der größten Radioteleskope der Welt auf. http://www.losapos.com/pics/57/bond02.jpg

Die Datenmengen, die die Radioteleskope der Welt sammeln, sind absurd groß. Um diese Daten zu verarbeiten, arbeitet SETI mit der BIONIC Software. Diese Software kann man sich kostenlos runterladen, und es erlaubt einem Teil eines großen Netzwerks von Rechnern zu werden. SETI schickt dann seine Daten zu den Weltweit an das BIONIC Netzwerk. Dieses Netzwerk operiert tatsächlich wie der größte Supercomputer der Welt.

Wissenschaftler, Lehrer, Studenten, und viele Menschen mit großem Intresse an astronomischer Forschung nehmen Teil an diesem Projekt.

Was können wir Asgardias daraus lernen?

Ich lese immer häufiger, und vor allem im Facebook: Kommentare die häufig sehr Kritisch sind, Behauptungen die Aufgestellt werden, aber nicht überprüf. Aber ich sehe auch den starken Wunsch nach mehr Partizipation.

Ich sehe das Projekt einer Asgardia Akademie als eine Möglichkeit unsere Ressourcen und Interessen zu bündeln. Sie bietet die Ideale Plattform, für viele von euch eine aktivere Rolle zu spielen. Entweder beim Aufbau der Akademie, oder später bspw. durch das Leiten von Kursen.

Ich hoffe, ich konnte euch zum Nachdenken anregen.

Many hands - one goal.
I would like to show, with the help of another project in which I participate, how many hands can pursue a single goal.

The SETI project (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) uses radio telescopes to search the night sky and others. after Fast Radio Bursts, to find possibly Intelligent Life outside our planetary system.

Already in the old James Bond films emerges one of the largest radio telescopes in the world. http://www.losapos.com/pics/57/bond02.jpg
The amount of data collected by radio telescopes in the world is absurdly large. To process this data, SETI works with the BIONIC software. This software can be downloaded for free, and it allows to become part of a large network of computers. SETI then sends its data to the worldwide BIONIC network. In fact, this network operates like the largest supercomputer in the world.

Scientists, teachers, students, and many people with a great interest in astronomical research are taking part in this project.

What can we learn from Asgardias?

I read more often, and especially in Facebook: Comments that are often very critical, claims that are put up, but not checked. But I also see a strong desire for more participation.

I see the project of an Asgardia Academy as a way to bundle our resources and interests. It provides the ideal platform to play a more active role for many of you. Either during the construction of the academy, or later, for example, by leading courses

Ein kleines Wort zu einem Hobby.

Ihr werdet es bereits gesehen haben, oder in zukünftigen Beiträgen hin und wieder sehen, dass Bilder von Sternen/ Galaxien und Cometen von mir gepostet werden.

In meiner Freizeit Fotografiere ich Sterne mit einem Teleskop. Daher sind die Rechte an meinen Bildern auch meine. Ich freue mich sehr, wenn sie euch gefallen. Aber ich bitte euch diese nicht ohne meine Erlaubniss weiter zu verwenden.

Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis.

|English Version|

A little word about a hobby.

You will have already seen it, or will see in future posts from time to time that pictures of stars / galaxies and Comets are posted by me.

In my spare time, I photograph stars with a telescope. Therefore, the rights to my pictures are mine too. I am very happy if you like them. But I do not ask you to continue using them without my permission.

Thank you for your understanding.

The first hurdle.

We are Asgard - but who are we?

We come from all over the world, speak different languages, we live different lives, and we have very different experiences.

A person from a rather dry land may have the knowledge of good irrigation methods, a person with access to nearly limitless power resources might know how to easily generate electricity. But it's not just these resources that we need to learn to share.

It is also our cultures that we can bring closer to others. Our cultures are made up of many points. History, language, traditions, and art in a comprehensive sense.

Universities and acedemies have always been a hub for knowledge, but also for culture.

I stand with my program for the realization of a free Academy for Asgardians.

Help me to help us. Because our greatest resources are ourselves. With all our knowledge, our experience, and the culture we carry with us.

|German Version|

Die erste Hürde.

Wir sind Asgard - doch wer sind wir?

Wir kommen aus der ganzen Welt, sprechen unterschiedliche Sprachen, wir leben unterschiedliche Leben, und machen ganz unterschiedliche Erfahrungen.

Ein Mensch aus einem eher trockenem Land hat vielleicht das Wissen über gute Bewässerungsmethoden, ein Mensch mit Zugang zu nahezu grenzenlosen Stromrecourcen weiß vielleicht, wie man leicht Strom generiert. Aber es sind nicht nur diese Recourcen, die wir teilen lernen müssen.

Es sind auch unsere Kulturen, die wir den anderen näher bringen können. Unsere Kulturen bestehen aus vielen Punkten. Der Geschichte, der Sprache, den Traditionen, und der Kunst im umfassenden sinn.

Universtäten und Akedemien sind seid der Antike immer schon umschlagsplatz für Wissen, aber auch für Kultur gewesen.

Ich stehe mit meinem Programm für die Realisierung einer für Asgardians kostenlosen Akademie.

Helfen sie mir, uns zu helfen. Denn unsere größte Ressourcen sind wir selbst. Mit all unserem Wissen, unserer Erfahrung, und der Kultur, die wir mit uns tragen.
