Is the current DNS structure likely to exhaust all possible combinations? I don't see the sense in attempting to refactor it.

***@petrv*** Something like that, yes. ***asgardia.xa.sol***, as a (possibly) "*mobile solar system colony*" but, in an Earth-centric (transitional) model, even ***asgardia.xa*** is ok, for now. ;-)

Again, ignore cost to LEO - it's not happening that way, this is something we can clearly both be in agreement over. You'd also want it higher most likely. Just the materials cost, let alone design time and assembly would sincerely suggest such a project could not possibly be entertained until first supermassive resources are obtained - like those littering the solar system. Certainly, it's unlikey to start fabrication tomorrow there's far too much infrastructure that'd need to be in place. Floor lift or stellar harvest. It doesn't hurt none to start working through what would be involved in doing it, however, so when we are better able to do so all the pieces are in place and most if not all problems rectified before anyone actually does anything. Drastically reduces devel costs for such a system. With regards to making mass more reasonable, a simple electical motor with a rotor arm and counterweight. Spin it up and release it at the "right" point in it's arc and you can "throw" things. And actually put them where you'd intend. It'd possibly not have the range of a 18km oversized railgun, but a series of them could be built with the same or similar mass.

Though these things are achievable, I do prefer to keep things at least within a reasonable timeframe away. Building an 18km long railgun in space is pretty far off, with the cost per kg to LEO being around $4k. For cargo transport, you can make the acceleration much higher, and therefor the length(and mass) more reasonable.

I was working on six G with flightsuits for citizens - it's not uncommon for pilots to take more. Six G is still enough - Unsure where the Mars target came from, but it's as good as any I suppose. 18km isn't unfeasible. The thermal dissipation systems for the long term habiational stations will likely be bigger than that, so again, by virtue of being able to provide for our populous providing the materials for such a project will be trivial. You could use a centrafugal launcher, and get a similar effect with a lot less mass I'd wager.

Welcome Richard! It is great to see you here see you have liked the Australia and New Zealand Facebook Chapter page. We also have Localised Regional forums as well. The Australian forum is located here Feel free to have a look and contribute there! Cheers, Alan Australia & New Zealand Chapter Advocate

Welcome! We have many discussions and projects happening at the moment. We welcome your ideas. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the terms if you haven’t already. Let us know if you have any questions. https://asgardia.space/en/forum/forum/forum-announcements-10/topic/asgardiaspace-posting-rules-82/ English is the language used on most Asgardian forums. The exception is on the regional forums where you can use your own language. It is recommended to use Google Translate for your convenience. If you have any further questions please let us know.

(Mod) Hello Simon, Welcome, nice to meet you here! You can find answers to your questions in both the concept section of the website as well as Igor Ashurbeyli's addresses to Asgardians in the home section of the site. >https://asgardia.space/en/page/concept< >https://asgardia.space/en/page/chronicles/igor-ashurbeylis-address-to-asgardians< >https://asgardia.space/en/page/chronicles/igor-ashurbeylis-address-to-asgardians-2016-12-12<

I propose that we behave seriously, without mention of FSMs or crisps. I agree with the use of SI. I think we should discourage the use of non-SI units. Clothing, food, etc. should all be sold primarily in SI units. (However, we should not abridge the freedom to sell them in traditional units.) Exceptions to this rule can be made for those items with "deeply traditional units", for example, beer being sold by the pint. The "deeply traditional units" being established by the ministry or an appropriate delegate thereof for certain classes of goods. In all cases, let the SI equivalent be displayed. (It shall be sufficient to display it once, visibly, on any menu/etc. thus, in a menu listing several beverages and their price per pint, it is sufficient to list the SI value once at the bottom.)

Dear asgardians, I want to tell you that any asgardian is seriously ill .I suggest him for natural first aid like artificial breathing and giving him water or rubbing his feet etc.It is called natural first aid without the help of any docter.Thanks.

Dear asgardians , All we live in earth countries .during emergency ,we should take help of the government and it's available means like mobile phones.fire brigade, medical emergency aids etc.In the absence of any means we should have patience must try to get natural first aid through available means.Being a space nation emergency help may not be possible like earth countries.thanks.

I think that some of the divisive (and frankly dangerous) developments that are being pursued at the moment on Planet Earth both by the current US government and, in my own country (UK), in becoming more isolated in the world just illustrates the need for Asgardia to join in and participate in cooperation with international organisation such as the UN and the Commonwealth (and for the European Chapter the EU). All countries need to have alliances and international friendships for the benefit of their citizens - the consequences of not doing so will only be too plain to see in the coming years.

You can promote "building friendships" without attempting to join into some sort of "members only" club however. It just creates another border.

i saw the diamond nuclear battery technology as well , very interesting indeed, i am curious about some of the more technical aspects as this develops. there was also information on the development of diamonds that i think would go well with this... rather than needing such high pressure to create the diamonds, they used extremely high powered laser to melt some specially formulated carbon... i will look for this news post in my email and post it here when i find it. i found it, it is Q-Carbon http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/01/tech/super-diamond-q-carbon-scientists-laser/

The EM-Drive, AKA Q-Thruster has been tested. There was a 2015 findings report leaked, and then released. That's not to say testing is completed, just it has been independantly verfied as providing viable thrust. The diamond batteries are far too early in development for my personal consideration as a viable power source right now, and have been operating under the assumption that solar arrays and where this is impractical, nuclear generators, could provide a realible power source for such devices. But it's definitely something to be looking at.

Hi guys, as this is not really a "bug" per-se, I am going to move this from [FORUM INDEX / NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS / BUG REPORTS - WEBSITE AND FORUM] to [FORUM INDEX / NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS / FEEDBACK]. Thanks for the understanding

Alex Fiume: "Trending topics might be a possibility in the future. " Popular != interesting. Indeed, on a busy forum, unless you have some means to regulate it, popular == tedious, because it is nigh on impossible to follow the discussion.

Hi there, As suggested in the comments below it is an extremely bad idea to divulge personal details such as your identification number. Because this is a personal security threat, this thread will he locked and scheduled for deletion. Thank you for your understanding! Dominic

DO NOT POST YOUR ID NUMBERS! ID numbers will be one part to confirming that you are who you claim to be and giving it away is one piece of information less that someone needs to gather to steal your Asgardia identity.

Edited: Jason Rainbow (Global Mod) Said your ID number would be something similar to publishing your Social Security Number so No Don't Post Your ID Number! old stuff | \/ (I don't think it's a good idea to post our ID numbers. Im pretty sure someone could try to use the ID numbers to try access your account through talking/sending emails to the the Admins and claming that it's theirs. I don't know maybe im wrong but i would not do it without knowing what could happen)
