Lembit Opik speaking in the British Parliament in 2009. Lembit was a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom for 13 years. He led the campaign for action on the threat of Near Earth Objects. He has worked internationally on this campaign, and has collaborated with Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart - and with the Spaceguard organisation, which shares the same concerns as Asgardia regarding the NEO threat.

Thank you to all who have voted for me. It’s so inspiring to find others who share a vision. I look forward to taking this vision further and helping Asgardia grow.

I’d like to update you about this direction. I’ve nominated myself to be a part-time Deputy Minister for Citizenship.

As someone who currently has citizenship in more than one earthly country, and has to understand visas and citizenship rights and responsibilities as part of various professional roles over the years, I feel this would be a good fit for my knowledge and interest.

There has been much discussion about what the physical proof of citizenship will look like, e.g. passports and ID cards. I would like to talk more about what citizenship means to us.

Beyond what is currently in our Constitution, what rights do we expect to have as citizens? What responsibilities should be upon us in order to maintain a positive and active citizenry? How will citizenship be obtained in the future? Under what circumstances will it be revoked? How will Asgardian citizenship differ from that of earthly states?

These particulars, as with all other aspects of Asgardia, will develop over time. Regardless of the outcome of this election, I look forward to many positive and fruitful discussions about citizenship, and beautiful intricacies of our new nation.

I just wanted to share a thought with all my fellow Asgardians.

Equality.

On Asgardia there should be social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

It is so hard to achieve it here because no one is used to it, but if we could built a place where male and female are treated the same way, it is going to be something normal for everyone.

No more fights, no moro protests, we can all just live peacefully together.

I also think that being gay, lesbian, transgender etc. should be seen as a normal thing, it is again something hard to achieve here but new nation, new rules.

Everyone should be able to be who she/he wants to be and not be afraid to show it.

What is really out there waiting for us, what can be discovered? We need are in a new space race ... but there are a few things we need to be successful.

We are limited by resources and tools, we have the capability of contracting to various governments and in so doing the beginning of our trading.

We need to work as a team to cross obstacles, risks will need to be taken.

We are at the dawning of a new age .... People are looking at the skies and wonder when they will be available to all people....

Ingredients:

One egg every 100g of flour

1/2 spoon of salt every 400g of flour

1 spoon of EVO every 400g of flour

25% of your flour has to be semolina and the rest 75% double zero.

Method:

Make a fountain with the flour after you sieved it, open a whole in the Center of the fountain and brake the eggs on it, add the salt and the oil and help yourself to brake the yolks with a fork.

Using your hands start to knead creating an homogeneous dough.

Roll it on a cling film making sure all the air is out and leave it to rest in the fridge for 20 minuts.

After the resting you will be able to work your dough and give it the pasta shape you love.

If you ever wanted to be a representative of the people, now is the time.

I was a youth parliamentarian twice because I wanted to be an elected representative. It was a disheartening experience. Rather than using the platform that we had to show the established politicians how political debate need not be showboating and insults, I was dismayed to see many of my peers doing exactly that. I have vivid memories of our "party" leaders in their oversized suits, doing theatrical belly laughs as they took cheap shots at their opponents.

Not that I blame them for having misfitted suits. I had also borrowed my suit from a relative because I didn't have one of my own. But in that environment the suits seemed to highlight the attitude that was present: parliamentary debate was a dress-up game, where winning was the only result that mattered.

I’m an optimist. It’s harder work than being cynical, but its worth it. Asgardia is an inspiration to rethink the ideas that have defeated us before and try again - not just as individuals, but as a society.

As your representative, I look forward to hearing new ideas and shaping them in to practical positive changes for our new society. If you feel the same way, why don't you join me?

Fellow Asgardian Ross Cheesewright has written great post on how to launch your campaign: https://asgardia.space/en/blog/19029-election-campaign-guide/ .

If you have ever thought of becoming an elected parliamentary representative, now is the time to give it a go.

Dear Fellow Asgardians,

I congratulate you for taking the brave step in securing future generations lives.

A common choice defined exactly of where and how we as 'Asgardians' could and can be.   Shaping history as well as shaping the future for many years to come.

Let us be known for our hearts, mind and energy.

To be alive that is our greatest gift.

Elizabeth

Well just looking at the totals of people joining Asgardia, and there I have a concern over the lack of Females becoming Asgardians, it seems to be a rough average of 75% Male and 24% Female..... May be a problem (nor not!) in the future? Why do you think its so low?
