Are you excited about the Mayoral elections? I am! I considered running, but it doesn’t sit within my skill set. It does sit very well in my interests. Whoever becomes my local Mayor, expect to hear from me!

It’s been a long-brewing idea of mine to set up a online buddying/mentoring arrangement for communities and Asgardia could be a good place to test it out.

The idea involves sharing resources and skills to increase opportunities for individuals and stronger communities overall. So many divisions in society come from a lack of opportunity, which is not just unfair, it actually disadvantages us all.

The benefit to this approach in Asgardia is that it gives an opportunity for those of us who care about Asgardia, but don’t have scientific backgrounds, to be actively and productively involved. My hope is that being a supportive community can be the base for giving Asgardia a strong foundation and for proving that we are a true nation.

I’d like to start a online group for Asgardians in Cambridge (UK) to discuss what we can do locally, so if you’re interested please add/accept me as a friend here and let me know what platform works for you (here, FB, LinkedIn, something else etc etc).

And finally, good luck to the Mayoral candidates, wherever you are!

When first introduced to the Asgardian Nation it was purely conceptual, but it was a concept so powerful and engaging, an idea that resonated so clearly with my own hopes and dreams of the future that I was instantly devoted to becoming a citizen and doing my part to drive the Asgardian Nation forward, and I know that many of my fellow Asgardians will share my drive to patriotism.

Like many of you, I dream of a day where science is at the forefront of our minds, where technological advancements for the betterment of humankind are unhindered by "product profitability" and the antiquated choices of the past, but rather controlled only by logic and moral compass. As an avid reader and movie-watcher, it is easy to look at books and films like Tomorrowland and compare the Asgardian dream of a nation free from racism and discrimination, where the advancement of humankind is our shared goal, where the scientific exploration of ourselves and the universe is a task we hold at our core, and see what our future can be if we strive to rise as a nation and show the world what we are capable of achieving as a race.

Moving away from here and residing somewhere else, out in the space,.... it looks like a joke NOW, but I've no doubt it WILL happen one day.... because mankind and its abilities and dreams are much much much bigger than this little tiny planet called The Earth...

Asgardia as a unified nation, of all cultures and religions as one.

I would like to help build this nation, with 2 years in finance and charitable works.

I believe we can achieve what humanity has failed to produce, which is a unification of our species, an evolution of our thinking, of our rules, of our existence as one.

How can  I get involved

I dream of a future for our children

I’ve been wondering for so long what role theatre, music and other forms of art serve in understanding the spatial structure around us known as space; how we could develop such an understanding into something more useful for the improvement of our nation...

Then, it hit me. If Asgardia aims to have one spoken language in due time, what better way then to use the arts to explore languages and forms of communication?! Can the medium of topography break down barriers of language for example, so that we may communicate in silence? Hit me up with suggestions as I’m wanting to contribute to this global community

Lembit Opik speaking in the British Parliament in 2009. Lembit was a Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom for 13 years. He led the campaign for action on the threat of Near Earth Objects. He has worked internationally on this campaign, and has collaborated with Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweickart - and with the Spaceguard organisation, which shares the same concerns as Asgardia regarding the NEO threat.

Thank you to all who have voted for me. It’s so inspiring to find others who share a vision. I look forward to taking this vision further and helping Asgardia grow.

I’d like to update you about this direction. I’ve nominated myself to be a part-time Deputy Minister for Citizenship.

As someone who currently has citizenship in more than one earthly country, and has to understand visas and citizenship rights and responsibilities as part of various professional roles over the years, I feel this would be a good fit for my knowledge and interest.

There has been much discussion about what the physical proof of citizenship will look like, e.g. passports and ID cards. I would like to talk more about what citizenship means to us.

Beyond what is currently in our Constitution, what rights do we expect to have as citizens? What responsibilities should be upon us in order to maintain a positive and active citizenry? How will citizenship be obtained in the future? Under what circumstances will it be revoked? How will Asgardian citizenship differ from that of earthly states?

These particulars, as with all other aspects of Asgardia, will develop over time. Regardless of the outcome of this election, I look forward to many positive and fruitful discussions about citizenship, and beautiful intricacies of our new nation.

I just wanted to share a thought with all my fellow Asgardians.

Equality.

On Asgardia there should be social, political and economic equality of the sexes.

It is so hard to achieve it here because no one is used to it, but if we could built a place where male and female are treated the same way, it is going to be something normal for everyone.

No more fights, no moro protests, we can all just live peacefully together.

I also think that being gay, lesbian, transgender etc. should be seen as a normal thing, it is again something hard to achieve here but new nation, new rules.

Everyone should be able to be who she/he wants to be and not be afraid to show it.

What is really out there waiting for us, what can be discovered? We need are in a new space race ... but there are a few things we need to be successful.

We are limited by resources and tools, we have the capability of contracting to various governments and in so doing the beginning of our trading.

We need to work as a team to cross obstacles, risks will need to be taken.

We are at the dawning of a new age .... People are looking at the skies and wonder when they will be available to all people....

Ingredients:

One egg every 100g of flour

1/2 spoon of salt every 400g of flour

1 spoon of EVO every 400g of flour

25% of your flour has to be semolina and the rest 75% double zero.

Method:

Make a fountain with the flour after you sieved it, open a whole in the Center of the fountain and brake the eggs on it, add the salt and the oil and help yourself to brake the yolks with a fork.

Using your hands start to knead creating an homogeneous dough.

Roll it on a cling film making sure all the air is out and leave it to rest in the fridge for 20 minuts.

After the resting you will be able to work your dough and give it the pasta shape you love.

If you ever wanted to be a representative of the people, now is the time.

I was a youth parliamentarian twice because I wanted to be an elected representative. It was a disheartening experience. Rather than using the platform that we had to show the established politicians how political debate need not be showboating and insults, I was dismayed to see many of my peers doing exactly that. I have vivid memories of our "party" leaders in their oversized suits, doing theatrical belly laughs as they took cheap shots at their opponents.

Not that I blame them for having misfitted suits. I had also borrowed my suit from a relative because I didn't have one of my own. But in that environment the suits seemed to highlight the attitude that was present: parliamentary debate was a dress-up game, where winning was the only result that mattered.

I’m an optimist. It’s harder work than being cynical, but its worth it. Asgardia is an inspiration to rethink the ideas that have defeated us before and try again - not just as individuals, but as a society.

As your representative, I look forward to hearing new ideas and shaping them in to practical positive changes for our new society. If you feel the same way, why don't you join me?

Fellow Asgardian Ross Cheesewright has written great post on how to launch your campaign: https://asgardia.space/en/blog/19029-election-campaign-guide/ .

If you have ever thought of becoming an elected parliamentary representative, now is the time to give it a go.

Dear Fellow Asgardians,

I congratulate you for taking the brave step in securing future generations lives.

A common choice defined exactly of where and how we as 'Asgardians' could and can be.   Shaping history as well as shaping the future for many years to come.

Let us be known for our hearts, mind and energy.

To be alive that is our greatest gift.

Elizabeth
