"Asgardian drone"? 3D printing (assumed polymer) might be great for some parts - but generally for strength:weight ratio it's not going to be suitable for anything "significant", and almost certainly nothing with payload capacity. It'd possibly create something operable, but it's likely different materials could incerease effectiveness.

I also agree with Beodel in everything. Right now I'm looking for a new opportunities, and also new work, in a field of my interests (biophysics, artificial organs, cybernetics prosthesis, genetics etc.), because in my own country I don't see any future for myself. I'm recently finished my previous project (in molecular biophysics of the cell) and got PhD degree, I think that's not bad for the beginning =) Now I'm helping Asgardia as a translator (can help you with translation between english, russian and ukranian, or study this languages). I hope that I can be also useful as a scientist.

I don't think that's a bad greetting to new comers or people who aren't asgardia in anyway but we need a good salutation which I'm aware of the contest but I didn't see any good ones well 1 but little much for a unity peace nation. Me I think either arm with a fist diagonal to your torso and your hand should be close to your shoulder the other hand off the side unless holding something. I tried to enter but apparently it's over. Anyone like my idea? And to make embrace everyone gesture our greeting?

Some Asgardians do not understand that Asgardia, at the present time, is the e pluribus unum of the world. We should not depart from the original conception of our founder, Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli. First we must understand that Asgardians are citizens of different countries, with different languages and cultural values, pioneers in helping to establish the principles and vision of our founder. We have the task of developing a worldwide community, working closely with the corresponding embassies, to ensure that the principles and ideals of Asgardia are maintained and continued for future generations of Asgardians until Asgardia becomes a physical reality in outer space.

"I think there may be some confusion here!" There's always been confusion and this misunderstanding. No one reads what this is about, refuses to accept what this is, skips ahead in lightyears. Perhaps the admin team would like to take it upon themselves to have a sticky post regarding this... Just a suggestion. The FAQ doesn't seem to cut it.

Hello! I think there may be some confusion here! There is a plan to place an unmanned satellite into orbit at the end of this year, however people is a different matter for some time. Asgardia is a long-term project and currently there are no plans to go to space. The emphasis, for now, is to create a nation with a strong foundation upon which everything else can be built.

Thanks for informaction Regards Kashif

Thanks for your observation, Jason Rainbow. Perhaps I should begin deleting the word "Elio" and substitute it for the word "The". That action may help clearing the confusion. It will only read "The Village Forum". What it really means is that it is an open forum where Asgardians of North America can express their thoughts on any topic. I welcome any suggestion you may offer if further clarification is necessary.

HI @Philo7, There seems to be a little confusion here, as an initiative Asgardia has no plans at the moment for either a Space habitat or a ground based village. The main focus presently should be on creating a stable foundation upon which we can build these "possible" future projects. I am also a little confused as to the title you have chosen for this topic, please can you clarify what *"Elio Forum"* means?

The VILLAGE is where Asgardians live in their homeland. Most Asgardians are being distracted with the idea of a space-nation when they should be also concerned about social justice in their country. Yes, Asgardia could be the opportunity of establishing a real e pluribus unum of the world, but in order to do so, all Asgardians must commit themselves with ideals and principles of non-violence, non-aggression, non-intervention in the internal affairs of other sovereign states, non-xenophobic of other groups, non-racist, non-attitude of superior or national exceptionalism. True asgardians shall be willing to challenge the laws that contribute to the misery of mankind around the world, even to land in jail for maintaining the principles of justice. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I understand that some Asgardians may feel somewhat confused about my project, recently modified by deleting the words “Elio” in its title. I apologize for the confusion. It now reads “The Village Forum.” Now, allow me to further clarify its meaning. “Village” is not an infrastructure of Asgardia in outer space, or a geographical location on Earth. “Village” is the community of Asgardians living in their own private place. Some may live in urban or rural areas, in mansions or caves, etc. “The Village” is not defined by physical objects, or by the physical proximity of Asgardians. The community of Asgardians, “The Village” therefore, refers to their bond with Asgardia, from any place they are in North America.

Hello guys, Please can you keep your discussions on this topic civil and respectful. Philo7, in general, we will only allow the discussion of person projects on the condition that it is made *perfectly* clear to all members that it is a personal project / idea that you are working on, and that you are posting in the Asgardia forum looking for assistance. At present, as has been stated by moderators and administrators in this and other posts by you, Asgardia has NO plans for a ground based community.

Hi asgardia, I am Athleter (bodybuilding, fitness) i love what I do. Have a good day asgardia.

non-gravity sports might contain quidditch? ;) Jason: Rugby was not in the top 5 of most popular sports on earth.

Have 5 years broad media education and some experince as newspaper editor, journalist and photographer. + Short specialized education in teaching others newspaper focused media basics. So I will try to be around to see if I can do some helpful input :) I don't work in media now, I changed course to mental health care... but it's good if my knowledge can be useful either way :)

**Hello Ryan,**       I do not have any experience in journalism; However, I was a marketing and sales director for a specialist construction company for two years. I continue in the communication world as a business development representative in the fields of agronomy and horticulture. It has been my perception that there is a distinct lack of a guiding hand in this movement. I understand that Dr. Ashurbeyli currently works in the aerospace field and is working on this project on the side. Due to politics in my native country I have been spurred on to pursue this project in earnest and would like to help in kind. I would like to propose an introduction of sorts for the current leadership. This would be comprised of a bio of each member working in official capacity for the project including details such as native language, second language, current profession, current role, how you came into this position, why you were motivated to join this project, and what the immediate goals or next steps are for the person being interviewed in regards to their operational capacity.       I'm in a unique position, given my current work obligations, that allows me to be available to perform such interviews at times that are comfortable for the recipient. I believe I can complete these brief interviews in 15-30 minutes by voice, video chat, or email. I feel that this project would help clarify some details for the many individuals that are interested in Asgardia. I think the next step forward is to begin learning how to communicate as an organization removing some of the general buzz or fog that currently makes up the organization. This would in turn be a great opportunity to organize the translator volunteers to deliver finished approved pieces for the administration to publish as they see fit. I would volunteer my time freely to accomplish this project and could even provide templates using the existing Asgardian layout and css to make these readily available outside of the forum.       ***Sincerely,***      ***Michael Wyant*** **(As there is no method on the forums to private message please let me know the best way to follow up on this if there is interest.)**
