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.

Dunno who's following this, but it's so epic: https://twitter.com/virgingalactic/status/1414229297267503107?s=20 Also hosted by Steven Colbert.

I'm sure that others have already seen this, but it seems like this project is extremely cool -- likewise another aluminum battery design that I saw has come out of Cornell University. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltaylor/2021/05/13/ev-range-breakthrough-as-new-aluminum-ion-battery-charges-60-times-faster-than-lithium-ion/

I heard about Asgardia years ago and signed up on the site but only recently, after running into a post about it, did I remember and come back to check in. Seeing that the community is still growing and the system is continuing to smooth out, I decided to pay the fee and become a citizen! I'm really interested in seeing how local groups are formed.

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

2021 New Years Eve Party in Cydonia "The Face on Mars" Come celebrate the New Year on the Face on Mars. The party will be located at the "Underground" in Cydonia. Find the entrance is just southeast of its right eye. (40°44'22.06"N, 9°27'24.00"W) Follow the purple colored flood lights that will lead you to the entrance. Underground transport subways offer luxury service 12000 feet away where icy cold becomes warm, complete with illumination by natural formations and lava flows. Ample activities include cornholio and shuffle dance contests. Party with hundreds of rock stars, fellow jet setters, and even a few members of SETI group in this unforgettable event. Champagne and ice cold Midori Vodka served at midnight. See you there.

Asgardia is about a newly devised government, a space nation that voes futurism. All government however runs on the hopes and dreams of a future. Feel Free to input your artistic views that you have favorited or create your own. Sculptures, photographs and artists. Please make sure to give credit to the creator in where credit is due. Attached were dreams by Architect Pablo Soleri's Arcosanti who felt entire architccture could combine population, work, industry and farms into a contained city. Should there the capital of arcostanti ever be built, principals of this form of high art and architecture become merged.

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...

Join me and other citizens of Asgardia on June 16th at 1pm PST. We will be discussing the future of Asgardia as well as science and tech. This is a great way to meet your fellow citizens and get involved in designing the future. This is an online event. Join us at join.me/asgardiasf
