50 years ago, plans were produced for large-scale space habitats in orbits around the Earth. One, to house 10,000 people, was designated as Island One. The design was deliberately restricted cost - no more than that of project Apollo, and also to the technology available at the time, so it could have been built in the late 1970s. Much smaller units would also be required as living quarters, workshops and offices for the task force - designated as Island Zero. This would be made from a number of inflatable modules, and the entire structure would rotate to produce simulated gravity, so the crew would therefore avoid the need for 2 hours of exercise every day that is needed on the ISS, which has never been done on any previous space mission. The presenter is Freelance Space Presenter Jerry Stone, who developed the concept. For details, write to jerry.stone2001@gmail.com  This will be the April meeting of the Hertford Astronomy Group, held in-person at the University of Hertfordshire and online.

Hi All I have 100 Solars as we need to invest in our Solar System. I present you with the new currency and I want to invest only 1 Solar. Do you think we can ask Elon about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUByzAnmfgc Thank you Kahlilah

Hello there my fellow Asgardians! Sorry that I haven't posted an update this past week. I'm getting over a bit of a nasty cold at the moment. But I'm on the mend so I'll be able to start sharing updates again soon. - Ross

Today, I'm going to be attending the ALF - Asgardian Legislative Forum - It's a big meeting for Parliament that will last up to 6 hours. In this meeting we're going to be going over a lot of things - including presentations from acting ministers, procedural information such as how laws are made in Asgardia as well as looking at the Parliamentary committees. Going to be a BIG one. I'll keep you guys posted and I'll be making a video update in the next couple of days to summarise the key points :) Until then! One Humanity, One Unity.

I am utterly shocked and saddened by the news about Phil... I was just speaking with him a few days ago - to hear this sudden news has left me speechless. Phil Appleby was a great man who lived an amazing life and contributed so much to the Development of Asgardia... I know that his contributions will live on. I think that's a part of why we're doing this, to leave a legacy for those that come after us. Requiescat in pace, Phill. Read a touching reflection from the Chairman of Parliament, Lembit Opik about our dear departed friend here: https://asgardia.space/en/news/Phil-Appleby-Passed-Away-at-the-Age-of-65 One Humanity One Unity.

Hello there my fellow Asgardians, As I said during my campaign, if elected, I will be sharing updates of my journey and the important work that we're doing in Asgardia. This is just a quick update from me about what happened this weekend! I'll be sharing more videos and updates - so please follow if you'd like more.

Bit of a throwback today to one of the achievements that I'm most proud of from Nation Builder's - for Unity Day, we challenged ourselves to come together write, edit and publish the first Asgardian Book - a collection of short stories we called "Dreams of life among the stars." This book is still available for free for digital download if you want to check out a piece of Asgardian history. https://nationbuilders.space/unity/

According to Annex 1 of Decree 71 (https://asgardia.space/en/document/decree71/) pending final background checks, I have been successfully elected to join Asgardia's 2nd Parliament after the relevant commissions validated the election! Thank you so much to everyone for your support - and a big congratulations to all my new peers whom I am very much looking forward to working with. Keep your eyes peeled on my feed and socials as I'll be posting plenty of updates and opportunities to help support Asgardia in the coming months (and years).

Voting has ended and it's been a blast connecting with everyone again. While we wait for the results to come out, I just wanted to thank all those that took the time to vote for me and connect with me. We've got so many great candidates this year and I've been blown away by everyone's enthusiasm. I wish everyone luck and hope that we'll get the final election results soon!
