https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th5A6ZQ28pE John F. Kennedy: (00:04) We meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come. But condense, if you will, the 50,000 years of man’s recorded history in a time span of about a half a century. Stated in these terms, we know very little about the first 40 years, except at the end of them, advanced man had learned to use the skins of animals and cover them. John F. Kennedy: (00:51) Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago, man learned to write and use a car with wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year. And then less than two months ago, during this whole 50 year span of human history, the steam engine provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month, electric lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week, we developed penicillin and television and nuclear power. This is a breathtaking pace and such a pace cannot help but create new ails as it dispels old. John F. Kennedy: (01:53) So it is not surprising that some would have us stay where we are a little longer, to rest, to wait. If this capsuled history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man in his quest for knowledge and progress is determined and cannot be deterred. John F. Kennedy: (02:15) We shall send to the moon 240,000 miles away, a giant rocket, more than 300 feet tall on an untried mission to an unknown celestial body, and then return it safely to Earth. But why some say the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask, why climb the highest mountain? Why 35 years ago fly the Atlantic? We choose to go to the moon. We chose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we’re willing to accept. One we are unwilling to postpone. And therefore, as we set sail, we ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure that man has ever gone.

Hi All! I'm a long-term Asgardia believer building the space-scale logistics computer to support life on Moon, Mars and beyond. In 2019, I founded HyperC.com, the Silicon Valley startup to pursue the dream. We use the latest advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to create the first-ever "planning database". It reads the rules of the task and outputs instructions of the solution - as opposed to current state-of-the art systems that require precise instructions as input to operate. The Planning Database enables management of supply chains with unprecedented scale and accuracy which would be needed to support 🪐Asgardia's plans to have a sustained colony on the Moon, and Humanity's greatest projects like the Dyson Sphere. I'm happy to announce that we're on track with the plan. But we still are a tiny team and need more help to grow and accelerate. The master plan is: - ✔️ [DONE] Prove the required technology exists. We use Logic Grounding, RETE rule processing and Reinforcement Learning techniques to learn heuristics with zero human input ( https://tinyurl.com/ycy8dkhm ). - ✔️ [DONE] Build the MVP prototype of commercially usable, no-compromise, pure A.I. engine that learns to solve any formally defined task ( https://hyperc.ai/ ). - 🔨[IN PROGRESS] Fix supply chain issues for all Amazon & other E-Commerce sellers using the planning database - 🔨 [STARTED] Use the money earned to advance & train the "Metaplanner" (https://github.com/hyperc-ai/metaplanner), the system that has basic self-awareness and can learn to solve large business problems in a single shot - 🌍 [SOON] Enable "Earth-scale" logistics optimization to eliminate overconsumption, poverty, hunger ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dematerialization_(economics) ) - 🌑 [NEXT] Use the money/resources earned to support joint operations on the Moon, Mars - 🌌 [NEXT] Support terraforming of Mars and assemble the Dyson Sphere to enable energies required for interstellar travel We're looking for help in Spreading the word, Marketing, Design, Customer support and operations in Logistics (mainly Amazon), A.I. algorithms development, Supercomputer construction and maintenance, bright ideas and cheering :) Please upvote, leave comments, DM/Connect with me on social networks if you're interested Yours fully, Andrew Gree, CEO @ HyperC

Hi everyone! My name is Andrew Gree and my mission is to make computers help us deliver the greatest moonshot projects ever. HyperC, the A.I. company I founded 3 years ago, is building the most advanced logistics computer on Earth, capable of supporting the colony on Mars and the process of building the Dyson Sphere. Fully autonomously. Looking forward to making friends and helping the community!

Now that the Asgardian cryptocurrency has been officially established, it makes becoming a Resident so much easier. Instead of having to pay €100 all at once to enable Resident status, Asgardians can now make small payments to their crypto wallet over the course of the year and then pay for your Residency with Solars.

Advanced IT-tools have expanded in many spheres of our life, facilitating and eliminating human efforts. Thanks to agriculture technology (http://eos.com/blog/top-5-newest-technologies-in-agriculture/), you can manage your farm easier, faster, more efficiently. The recent innovations enable farmers to obtain high outcomes with lower inputs. Yet, this is not the sole advantage. Farmers not only save their expenses but contribute to nature protection as well, applying fewer chemicals, spending natural resources with care. Key branches of up-to-date digital farm management Technologies in agriculture are classified into the following major categories: 1. GIS/GPS agriculture. GPS defines the field geographic position and can precisely spot the issues to be addressed regarding either current state of things or prospects. It outlines the problem areas and allows tackling them locally, be it killing pests or applying fertilizers, irrigation or drainage, seeding or harvesting. This zone-based approach greatly saves natural and farmers’ resources. 2. Satellite monitoring. Spatial imagery is a true break-through in agriculture. It can give detailed information on the terrain in real time. The saved captures and records allow understanding the regularities. Perceiving the Earth’s surface radiation, they analyze multiple crop and soil conditions, forecast the weather, and report hazards. A wide range of vegetation indices informs on the plant health, growth stages, and the necessity to take urgent measures. 3. Drones/UAV and remote sensors. Unmanned aerial vehicles watch your fields at the bird’s eye height and get closer when needed. Compared to satellites, they provide high-resolution captures and are more flexible when it comes to mobility. Yet, they are quite expensive, require licenses and trained operators, and their areas of usage are restricted. 4. Online platforms for storage and analytics. Agricultural software enables farmers to make smart, well-informed decisions within a short time. Computer apps and tools keep every single detail in mind better than humans. Online agro-platforms store all the data in one place, process and interpret them, and produce the best solution possible. Crop Monitoring is a popular platform that rapidly earns justified popularity. Its major features enlist: -Vegetation indices picture crop health, fertilizer inputs, and water saturation. The scouting app allows treating the problem locally. Once you assign the task, the scout inspects the questioned spot for diseases, weeds pests, and other issues. It records and reports them for you to react in time. The app is available both in desktop and mobile versions. -Weather forecasts prevent the danger of heat, droughts, floods, frost, hail; notifies of upcoming rainfalls. -Satellite-derived data facilitate the choice of plants, sowing and harvest time, field zoning, fertilizing, etc. 5. Integral datasets. Online platforms compare various fields in the vicinity and elaborate a comprehensive performance analysis. Smart agriculture: current benefits and prospects for the future. Edgy technologies feed up contemporary farming with new ideas and boost its possibilities. Thus, agrarians can get more contributing less. This implies not only the financial side but mental and physical as well. In many cases, smart apps can make better decisions than humans performing a full-fledged analysis of all derived data. Technological progress makes an agricultural business more profitable, it consumes less labor and resources.

Hello Fellow Asgardians, Any NFT collectors in this community? It may be a great way to bring collectables into space.

These are test renders of two spaceships that I have designed and modeled for a science fiction film that is currently in post production. I was given a good deal of creative reign on this project as VFX supervisor and I tend to lean towards retro 1940/50's sci-fi styles with a touch of modern asthetics.

Hello All! I'm new to Asgardia and I'm eager to learn the official language. Of course, we have 12 official languages but we don't yet have Asgardian. It's time! I see that forum discussions of the subject seem to have died out almost completely. Let's get it going! I want to be involved in the language development project if it ever becomes a priority to the government and citizenry. I have studied a number of languages and I know something about constructed languages (e.g. Esperanto or Klingon). My speciality is teaching English, but I have had to learn a lot of linguistics along the way. If someone out there is forming a team to develop our language, please reach out to me. And here's a useful resource for those looking to get this project started: https://conlang.org/ Thanks!

I've been wanting to find some sort of simulation of what it would be like to be on an Asgardian moon base. However, since nothing of the like exists, I have been recently working on building my own small world for VRChat using free assets I've found. It is not completed yet, but i have most of the components added. Upon completion I'll make a follow-up post, possibly a video if i feel up to it...
