Cool way to articulate yourself. I can relate with some of those.

Vote for someone Who understands how to create growth strategies for a Global Organization.

Firstly he cares about people and humanity. He loves helping out people and wants to help humanity on a larger scale, and whats bigger than a Space community that ensures our future.(He will put your needs and concerns forward to the main leaders and will strive towards creating an ...

There are one or two TED talks on virtual nation states. We will probably start hearing more and more about this idea within the next years and decade. So in that sense, it makes total sense to have a passport for a virtual nation. The big question though is, will ...

Interesting point Space-Dragon. Tell me more about the ancient history that would indicate otherwise...

Cool, fellow South African here. Although it's debatable whether SA is the cradle of humankind, if you dig deep enough into ancient history you start finding stuff that would clearly indicate otherwise... Maybe the cradle for some people, but not all humans. But your saying still rings very true regardless.

We came from out there, beyond out there. So this tiny step of creating a peace loving home, out there, is our right.

What about S.A.B.R.E. engines? A simple S.S.T.O. capable of runway landing and takeoff would mean it could become as commonplace as the jumbo-jet. Just a thought. but this would make orbital trips cheap, quick and available to the masses.

I'm happy that my idea sparked some interest. I agree that testing in water would be a good first plan. With new stronger materials being developed, the idea might have some merit in the future. I really don't know.

Employment rights and duties of employers to employees

I've been thinking in regards to government Ministries and, while there is a Law Ministry, i believe it would be of extreme importance to include a Ministry that protects the rights of the employees of companies that will work in space. Space travel is dangerous and I would imagine working ...

I'm just heavily conscious of the general slide toward worker disenfranchisement, and the new normal that's settling in so many political settings. Asgardia is a new start: I hope it starts on a different trajectory.

language:

I read on rules pages which relate to language.I think they emphasise on english as prefered medium.I speak Zulu and if another language is used other than english,it perpetuate a sterotype mentality of being better than the other.Just a thought.
