I grew up in the '70s when we visited the moon, and the '80s when we thought about going to live in space. Somehow our dreams all got screwed up and yes there are many causes. But the problem was, how to get to space and build a community out there. Many years have passed, and we still are not a planetary civilisation, and I feel time is running out ! Lets discuss the logistics of going to space, and how to create the infrastructure on all the earths continents to make sure that travel to and from space will just be a safe as we learned to fly, like we did a hundred years ago! Remember it was only in 1927 that we learned how to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a plane. Lets make sure our plans for travelling up and down to space can be realistic and affordable bij 2027 !

I wonder if this initiative/organization has anything to do with Asgardia. If it doesn't, it could. "Vast is developing artificial gravity space stations to expand humanity across the solar system. Our mission is to enable large populations to live and work in space permanently." https://www.vast.space/

I love to listen to music, create music and explore new music! I've uploaded some old videos with tracks I've created with friends. Please let me know what you think of it I first have to create videos for the more current tracks we've created, because I cannot find a way to upload the tracks audio only. RoGeR is my cooperation with a friend Gerard. We try to make music once a week together. Random Vision is my artist name for all my outings. Tranceformers was a cooperation I had with my best friend Renny - RIP ❤️ - We made a lot of music during the eighties, nineties and noughties!

Finally I've decided to become a resident of Asgardia. I don't know if that will be of any use, but I've started supporting all causes that gives me a good feeling. Asgardia is one of them, because of of the good intentions to create a community for like-minded people. Also Asgardia has a vision for the longterm, something I miss very much in the real world. The 100 dollar fee also kept me from my decision,⁣ but I realize there are costs involved in making the community available to us. Much has already been achieved: a manifesto, website, infrastructure and communication. Thank you for that! Random Vision

Hey everybody, Not sure if this has been discussed in the past, is any Asgardian working on the broad Web3 scene? Is this kind of tech something that's interesting this community?

If you are an Asgardian and you have a passion for taking (or looking at) images of The Moon, The Sun, Planets or any object in the Deep Sky, the new Astrophotography Amateurs of Asgardia community is the right place for sharing, enjoying and discussing them. A small description of the techniques used for taking the picture and about the subject itself is more than appreciated. Surprise us with your beauty! https://asgardia.space/social/communities/703

WiKi The Rosette Nebula (also known as Caldwell 49) is an H II region located near one end of a giant molecular cloud in the Monoceros region of the Milky Way Galaxy. The open cluster NGC 2244 (Caldwell 50) is closely associated with the nebulosity, the stars of the cluster having been formed from the nebula's matter. The complex has the following New General Catalogue (NGC) designations: NGC 2237 – Part of the nebulous region (Also used to denote whole nebula) NGC 2238 – Part of the nebulous region NGC 2239 – Part of the nebulous region (Discovered by John Herschel) NGC 2244 – The open cluster within the nebula (Discovered by John Flamsteed in 1690)[citation needed] NGC 2246 – Part of the nebulous region The cluster and nebula lie at a distance of 5,000 light-years from Earth[3]) and measure roughly 130 light years in diameter. The radiation from the young stars excites the atoms in the nebula, causing them to emit radiation themselves producing the emission nebula we see. The mass of the nebula is estimated to be around 10,000 solar masses. A survey of the nebula with the Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed the presence of numerous new-born stars inside optical Rosette Nebula and studded within a dense molecular cloud. Altogether, approximately 2500 young stars lie in this star-forming complex, including the massive O-type stars HD 46223 and HD 46150, which are primarily responsible for blowing the ionized bubble.[4][5] Most of the ongoing star-formation activity is occurring in the dense molecular cloud to the south east of the bubble.[6] A diffuse X-ray glow is also seen between the stars in the bubble, which has been attributed to a super-hot plasma with temperatures ranging from 1 to 10 million K.[7] This is significantly hotter than the 10,000 K plasmas seen in HII regions, and is likely attributed to the shock-heated winds from the massive O-type stars. On April 16, 2019 the Oklahoma Legislature passed HB1292 making the Rosette Nebula as the official state astronomical object. Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed it into law April 22, 2019. - End of Wikipedia extract. Technical details about my shot...

I think LoRa and Lorawan might be suited for an kind of Space extension of IoT as it has an range of 700~ KM at max this means it can easly be used to beam back to earth or maybe to beam to other planets also this 700~ KM limit might be bigger in space(as space is less interfering then air(and all the radio polution here) anyway once we set this up we can easly communicate with the final frontier using LoRa and 5G we can use 5G for internet on mars and LoRa for small data that needs an quicker path to earth
