Now more than ever, we must remember that by uniting we can achieve more than when we stand divided.

We now have a opportunity to create a society where human values for every citizen is prioritised over greed of the powerful few, a society that celebrates the diverse race & religions of the Earth whilst not forgetting we are all united by our common species. Together we can ensure that everyone is cared for in their hour of need and no one is left without access to basic human priveledges . Working together to organise the services Asgardia needs we have the opportunity to show the rest of the world how a fair society looks like.

Together we cancherry pick all of humanity greatest successes so that every Asgardian can access. By promoting the constitution of Asgardia through peace, love and science we can decrease the amount of injustices of the world for our future generations by following our example.

Vote for me and I will serve you  as your member of parliament to ensure Asgardia is realised, so that one day our future generations can stand on the new structures looking down at our wonderous Blue Marble to serve as inspiration for our expansion into the universe.

I am not your normal politician. I hate the way main stream politicians conduct themselves. I am a doer, realist, and fighter. I will leave the large strategic problems to the experts in the Trendsetters and Strategists. What's more important to me are the smaller things we have to bare whilst the bigger problems are being sorted. Let me fight to make your lives more comfortable on Asgardia.

Sometimes the things that really matter to people are the small things, the irks, the 'that gets on my nerves' sort of small things. If these things were taken seriously and dealt with, the bigger problems that can't be solved for years become easier to bare. The small things are what make people happy and what makes life a more comfortable place to be.

Whilst we try to fix the bigger multi-year, massive budget problems let me also make your day a better one.

Let me know your 'small things' that can help you tolerate life's bigger issues and help you smile more. I promise to help make these small differences happen for you.

So, one of the main concerns facing Asgardia is actually getting people and cargo into orbit. We can't rely solely on other private spaceflight companies, as that would be too expensive. So, my feeling is that we're going to have to build and launch our own spacecraft.

Luckily, Blue Origin are already manufacturing an engine that will suit our needs perfectly: the BE-4.

Although Blue Origin's main client is the United Launch Alliance, they have said that engine will be commercially available to other companies:

Most rocket engines use kerosene as fuel, but the BE-4 uses methane instead, making it similar to SpaceX's Raptor engines. This is good because we can easily make methane ourselves via the Sabatier process (CO2+H2 = CH4+H2O). We just buy an island out in the middle of a large body of water (providing us with a plentiful supply of hydrogen and oxygen) and build Sabatier, electrolysis and CO2 scrubbing machines on it. This will not only benefit us, but it could help combat climate change as well.

Plus, we could also earn ourselves a little extra capital by launching payloads into orbit for other clients.

Hello Asgardians!

I have just posted in the Civic.Asgardia sub forum about community input for Massive Open Online Courses. The post will be open for a month before being locked and compiled. The thread can be found HERE

Hello Asgardians!

Some of you may remember there was a discussion a while ago about Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).

We are currently looking for community feedback, that way we can make sure it suits the needs of our nation!

I will be opening this up for discussion for one month from todays date. This post will be locked on 6th May 2017, and suggestions will be compiled. Things to start thinking about:

1. What do you believe constitutes a MOOC
2. What will the end result look like?
3. How will it benefit the community of Asgardia?
4. When/how are we going to develop this?
5. Why do you believe this is being done?
6. How will it be different from the other Online/free courses available today?
7. How will it be run?
8. Will there be different levels of learning? i.e. grade school vs university/college
9. Will it be free, or should there be a subscription per month/year that allows unlimited courses?
10. What types of programs can we provide? Will it be purely scientific, or is there room for the development of arts, music, theology, marketing programs?
11. Is there a possibility for a mentorship program

I understand this is a lot to think of, so take your time! Civic.Asgardia looks forward to hearing your suggestions

Hello Asgardians!

The second round of project proposal submissions has now opened. It will run until June 30th, members are encouraged to get community input to assist with proposals.

A handy guide to project proposals, and the submission rounds can be found here

For anyone that has an idea, but feel that it is not ready for community input you can request development assistance. Details of how to do that are also in the guide above.

I look forward to working with you this submission round!

Hey everyone,

I am the Projects Coordinator for Civic.Asgardia, recently we launched a team on the Berkeley Institute servers to assist with scientific research and development.

We have been doing really well, but we need your help! It would be awesome if you could donate your computers unused processing power to scientific research.

All the information you need to get started is right here:
