Very poisoness do not eat this one, I took this one on a walk in a heath close to my home.Autumn is so pretty, all of the colours and fruits. I remember being a kid and walking to school, I used to kick all the fallen leaves up on my way to hear that dry rustling sound they make, such beautiful colourful memories stay with you for all your days.

It was great to be in pole position to ask the first question on behalf of ROOM Space Journal of Asgardia at the Press Conference for the heads of all the major global space agencies at CyberSpace IAC 2020 this week. This year the annual event would have been held in Dubai but instead was organised fully online for the first time because of Covid-19, with free entry to all interested in space. More than 11,000 people from across the globe registered to attend the three day event.

I am delighted with the latest issue of ROOM Space Journal out now in both print & digital format - the 25th edition of the world’s leading space magazine is one not to be missed! The 116-page magazine is packed with a wealth of informative & attractively presented articles on a range of topical space subjects, all written by experts & experienced commentators in the field. Scientists Oleg Orlov, Anna Kussmaul & Mark Belakovskiy, all from Moscow’s prestigious Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP), take a fascinating look at how space physiology and medicine are spinning off new medical treatments and approaches on Earth. And on a similar theme we are delighted to publish a ground-breaking article by Prof Floris Wuyts and Dr Steven Jillings on the latest results from their studies on microgravity and its effects on the human brain. We include an interview with Pascale Ehrenfreund, the first female president of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), a detailed look at Brazil’s space ambitions and commercial opportunities beyond Earth orbit with articles by Clint Gaumann of TerraMetric and Pavlo Tanasyuk of Spacebit. Plus many more fascinating articles.

So I joined many years out of fun and interest. Now I see theirs "fees" for certain stuff including giving the rights to stand as an MP. So much for democracy! The Constitution of Asgardia declares equality for all yet things are behind paywalls? I would of left Earth for these undemocratic reasons and yet here we are. This is dissapointing.
