As a space based society we will need to have people from all walks of life, form this community.  As the time comes to start to live in space, we will need people that can do a number of jobs.  Farmers to grow food and plants for oxygen also to scrub CO2 from the air.  Mechanics to fix various machines.  Engineers to further develop and find better solutions.  Doctors to heal.  Leaders to motivate.  Janitor's to clean and dispose waste of all kinds. Various Technicians and Minors for mission's.  Etc...  The future is now, and now is the time to start planning and pooling together what is needed to bring about a bright and prosperitive future.

Asgardia. The answer to mankinds next progressive steps into space. The saying goes "If you want something done, do it yourself." Earths main governments can't get along long enough to maintain the status quo for the International Space Station, what makes people think they can ever get along to create a station big enough for human life to function, an thrive?

Looking at the photo of the Milky Way, I can't help but feel like there's so much more to come. Space is too big to be alone. If we want to go there, we have to make it happen ourselves.

Art is all around us. Food. Science. Movement. Love. Life. Nature to me is the most beautiful form of art. You can breathe it in. Observe it's beauty while living within it. I work to get ahead financially to one day be able to see all that this world has to offer. I am in the process of purchasing a 3D resin polymer printer... And a direct to substrate printer... I hope this will take my products to the next level while being able to manufacture everything in house. Quality of 3rd party materials and evolution of my product has led me down this path... My newly trademarked organization "Clicksule Corporation" will operate under the statute of 3D bioprinting in the future. I hope to bring this attribute with me to Asgardia.

Hi everyone!My name is Eric and I live in the Tampa Bay area here in Florida.I hope Asgardia has a bright future and is quickly approved to be a full legal nation recognized by the United Nations.Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe in whatever adventures you experience today.

It our species birthright to reach out into the stars and walk among them like the gods and goddesses of ancient mythical legend.

As a leader of Asgardia I take an oath of promise to never stop pushing the boundaries of what was once perceived impossible, fueled by the imagination of our wildest dreams.

Beholden to great power and responsibility, the seeds of corruption are planted, and slowly begin to grow in obfuscation manipulating the core of one's moral fiber.

When power becomes absolute in an individual, we must never forget that all altruism is the exalted paragon of our new-found godhood among humanity.

It is how we overcome our hubris.

Absolute benevolence.

What intrigued me was that Asgardia is a new platform. Open to a variety of things, including technological innovation during its birth and growth. One would have to ask: What can we do to evolve ID, IP, and even voting.

I would have to imply that we have two near-perfect solutions for this as they become more of a reality during the 2020s:

1. Blockchains

2. Quantum encryprtions [photonic chips]

What would the two solve if implemented?

1. With blockchain and smart contracts [like you see with ETH Dapps], you solve all the known problems seen in a bureaucratic government. Everything moves quick and you gain all the dreams current governments wish they had: efficiency and automation.

2. Should you focus on photonic/quantum encryption, you have complete security. The hacking entity would have to move faster than the speed of light to simply intervene, but will be detectable and easily averted from.

With this in mind, within minutes or hours you solve a ton of issues that would take governments years to achieve.

An even better solution that's yet to exist but I think will someday: quantum blockchains. But that's only speculation. What's mentioned above already exists and are being perfected as we speak.
