Can anyone suggest what sort of consular services should be offered by Asgardian embassies and consulates?
Aug 9, 18 / Vir 25, 02 07:59 UTC
There's a list of normal consular services on the Consular Assistance page on wikipedia I propose Asgardia provide. I would post the link but I'm on my phone.

@sammwich "UHDR is not a legally binding document". Not true, it is binding. Nowadays it is "ius gentium", i.e. it's regarded compulsory international law for and in any State on Earth.

What should the official religion of Asgardia be?
Aug 2, 17 / Vir 18, 01 14:12 UTC
You cannot decide wich religion should be the appropriate in Asgardia, because all other people will not agree. So, let all religions be possible to worship as long as it do not interfere with the project.

Now I'm not 100% on the science involved, this is a theory. The idea is using magnetic energy powered by the sun or eventually other stars to send objects (ships, cargo) etc. Through space on a magnetic rail like a sling shot, Magnets work perfectly in the vacuum of space ...

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 ...

The Argument for a Fixed Age of Majority as Opposed to Sociological Test of Maturity
When considering the legal age of majority, there is a debate between the concept of a static age and maturity tests. I think there are very good reasons for choosing a static age. The primary reason is that a definitive time frame is given for planning. The second reason is that a specific age provides protection to minors. The third reason is more an argument against maturity tests.
Regardless of the age decided upon by a culture, having a static age of majority gives a minor, and indirectly her/his guardians, a reliable time-frame within which to plan the transition process from child to adult. Having age milestones in a culture allow us to gauge maturity, intellectual capacity, physical development, sociological adjustment, and many other aspects of growth. This is one of the most difficult transitions in life and having a set point when that transition is complete has proven to be beneficial to individuals and society at large.
A very important aspect of static ages of majority in a society is the protection it brings to minors, especially in relation to adults who would abuse thier power and knowledge to manipulate others less mature or experienced than themselves. In situations where minors are coerced into financial, sexual, or emotional situations they aren't mature enough to handle, a static age of maturity protects them by law and unwritten social contracts. Without these protections we would expose children to harm which is easily avoidable.
The last reason for a static age of maturity actually is in concern of the nature of maturity tests. Any test based on objective facts is an easy to administer and easy to grade test. Any maturity test would not only be subjective, but also decides whether the individual taking it has access to the basic rights of a society. That is a problematic mix. We have disagreements on who would design the test, who would judge results, and what do we do with those who are unable to pass even well into what is currently considered adulthood. Most importantly, it is this question of who decides what determines maturity that concerns me. There is too much potential for maladjusted people to deny rights to others through corruption of the process.
Despite the fact that there may be people who are denied options that they are mature enough to handle and these same options are provided to people who may never be ready to handle them, having a static age of majority has benefits that outweigh this inconvenience. Having a reliable time-frame for planning the transition to adulthood and the protections provided against predators are strong enough reasons to advise patience to those who are mature enough, but not old enough, to be adults. And, if they don't have the patience to wait, maybe they don't have the maturity after all.
