Asgardia - The Space Nation

No doubt

Observing the vastness of space, the great empty, the contract between the beauty and the danger. Gazing at the great variety of all, the clouds of dust and of stars, planets everywhere, rocks, lakes, atmosphere, many colors, movement everywhere. Molecules, atoms, quarks, superclusters of clusters of galaxies. Matter, energy, space ...

Revenue and profit versus science and humanity

Education and science are a good fundament for a sustainable and robust society. In most parts of the world, the economy is based on revenue and profit. Asgardia is a new nation and we have the opportunity to create a few basic things "from scratch". However, to actually build and ...

Counteracting muscle and bone mass loss in weightlessness

Recently (8 September 2020) an interesting article was published on skeletal muscle and bone loss in the absence of Earth gravity. Scientists have sent mice to the ISS via a SpaceX flight and in those mice they deleted a gene that normally stops muscle growth when the animals become fully ...

Of course, another challenge, but no so far like, the biological and technical that we need to solve. I think that this brain network of qualified people in ...

Emigrating to space – because of health reasons

Hello! I am AsgardianJacob, a.k.a. Jacob Mulder from the Netherlands, and I need to emigrate to space in 15 years. Yes, you’re reading it correctly: I really have to. There reason is that gravity squeezes my spine. Since a few years I’m in an electronic reclining wheelchair, see www.Jacobs.Space/liggend. But ...

Interesting topic to brainstorm. Is there any external supporting frame to compensate this pressure? As far as I know, to live in outer space, there should be an artificial gravity, that may not solve the goal in that case. Otherwise other will have an issues of loosing muscles and bone ...

Hello Abigail, Thank you for your reaction! I am glad that my story was an inspiration. It helps a lot when you are an optimistic and positive person (like myself) and when you have a mindset of "never give up, there are always alternatives". At the same time, one also does need a bit of luck, every now and then. I had the luck that I already had a good job and a large international network in IT and health, when I had to lie down due to problem with my back. I have been lying down for 1.5 years, trying all kind of medical alternatives and eventually had to go for supporting tools like a wheelchair. It was not trivial to find good stuff - I first tried a wheelchair from Sweden but my current one is from Switzerland. My house by now has quite a few smart 'tricks' and my car is adapted to the level of almost science fiction. It cost me an enormous personal effort and lots of money, because the government, the health insurance, my employer, everybody said "consider your lying down as an early retirement and enjoy". Nobody helped, also not financially. But my head still works and I still remained very enthusiastic and "bouncing" in my mind. So I simply did everything myself - nobody tells me to lie down and give up...! Swimming is great, since it removes the gravity and after some 15-30 minutes the pain disappears. Great. Unfortunately I haven't been swimming for a while, because of COVID-19. I also have diabetes and other things, so the risk for my health is simply too large. In my electric wheelchair and in my car I'm sitting/lying quite far backwards, which removes most of the gravity on my spine. I'm not lying completely flat, so at the end of the day, around 21:00, the pain becomes quite serious and my legs stop working. To go to sleep I use cannabis oil, here in the Netherlands it is available in such a form that it is not addictive. Its effects disappear around 06:00, so when I get up and start working, there's no leftover effect whatsoever. I can of course help you with tips and tricks for quite a few situations and challenges in daily life (Jacob (at) Jacobs (dot) Space). I'm using my wheelchair and car since 2017 and I've learned quite a few things since then. I studied astronomy and computer science and I've been working in IT for some 30 years now. With this knowledge and experience I have serious plans of emigrating to Space some 15 years from now. Being weightless in Space will remove my problems with gravity and it's likely that some 15 years from now the problems with my back have worsened considerably, so that I really have to do something drastic by then. I have presented my ideas on an architecture for a space colony and my plan to emigrate during the Asgardia congress in 2019, see www.MADmelange.Space/Asgardia . I'm currently working with the management of the organization were I work, www.CGI.com/Space, to convince Musk, Bezos, Branson and the like that they need CGI to realize their Space ambitions. You are already living very close to where spaceships are launched, so as soon as I'm making progress with my personal "crusade", I think it should be possible to take you (and quite a few others) with me to Space :-) . Or at least help you with your back problems and issues with gravity. Because even if I don't succeed in actually emigrating to Space, there certainly will be substantial spin-offs of the activities of myself, CGI and of course Asgardia, and I'm convinced that a few of those spin-offs will be beneficial to you too.
