Very excited to announce that I have submitted my candidacy to run for Mayor of Seattle in Asgardia. Seattle is a space city with a vibrant satellite industry representation and we also have Blue Origin. Plus, the Space Needle is a visible reminder of our city's past and future interest in Space. I have been a Seattle resident since 1998 and also have run the local chapter of the Mars Society since that time. I also run the Seattle Scrum Meetup and Networking for Nonprofits meetup series.

I want to see tech and innovative solutions blossom for the good of all Asgardians. So with that in mind I propose a contest. Putting my money where my mouth is.

Prize will be awarded to whoever makes the biggest impact. Deadline is June 30th 2021 submit application here.

The 'Right to Home and Hovel' is a term I coined and have been waving around the internet for some time. It is the idea that - if you are a citizen of a nation you have an inalienable implied right to reside in that nation. If you did not reside in that nation you would not be a citizen. To be a resident you must 'have a permanent home in a particular place'. Therefore it is implied that the Right to Home and Hovel exists and it cannot be challenged lest the very concept of citizenship deteriorate into slavery and 'owned humans'. In this context when you acquire through purchase, inheritance, build or cobble, a home or hovel you have an inherent inalienable right to it that cannot be infringed upon. What is required from the government? Nothing. Simply do not infringe upon the homes and hovels of the people. What is infringement? Rent and / or Taxation of the home and hovel under threat of significant punishment, deposition, confiscation, reclamation, annexation or loss of liberty, etc. Kicking out homeless encampments, charging people with crimes for being 'vagrant', banning people from sleeping in tents, etc. are all infringements of the right to home and hovel.

I wonder like what is above the earth and planets what is below them? Bc you always see in shows the space ship either going to the right or to the left but never up or down. Is it bc it can't be measured has anyone tried? Like what would happen if we fired a space probe down? What would it reach?

Hello asgardians! I'm new and considering becoming a citizen but! I am not finding helpful information as to what (if anything) that means. I have been on the website and tried several key words here in the social part and so far ive just come up with HOW to becaome a resident nothing about how that would effect my life. I live in the U.S. so! That being said any insight that you guys can offer would be so much apperciated. Thank you in advance!!

My Citizen profile, this page CEASED TO EXIST for a number of hours, all my forum posts were deleted, now I'm magically restored. This project is a cluster fuck. I'm greatful to have my profile restored but this has taught me to not put all my space exploration eggs in one basket. I suggest people don't over rely on Asgardia for anything at this point, do not give them ANY money until they have a WELL DEVELOPED PLAN for a Space Station with blueprints and how they will fund it (not just taxing us for nothing) there are so many people who want to start Asgardia related business JUST WAITING on the forums and they are ignored and told to just wait and just wait. Patience is fine if you have a plan, this place doesn't have a plan currently. At least not one publicly. There was an Official Asgardia Discord at some point, i've asked for the link, no one replied, i guess its not official? Anyway yeah. I had an amazing day today with My mom we went to the mainland, got a dental exam before my apointment saw a really hot nurse. Got food and supplys and took many amazing pictures on the Ferry back home now there was a Thunderstorm it seems to have passed, cat was happy to have treats, my liver hurts now that im drinking i need to fucking stop lol - Haeley

I have been chatting with a human via twitter that gets telepathic messages from ET, they call themselves Sandia. Even if they aren't real they have made me more open to thinking about real ET visiting Earth now. How mind blowing that would be and such. They say Disclosure might happen in Oct 2021, I guess we will see :D I think they could be real too! https://twitter.com/SandiaWisdom https://www.officialfirstcontact.com/ Here they want to teach us telepathy there is free PDF in many languages https://www.officialfirstcontact.com/documents/ https://www.officialfirstcontact.com/bfd_download/telepathy-101-manual-english/

Hello I have been facinating with Cryonics for nearly 2 decades and I know a little about it but not a whole lot. Vitrification is often used to allow the body (your body is 70%ish Water) to endure the colder temperatures with less ice fracturing. Currently there is still a fair amount of damage done to bodies that are frozen but cryonics is advancing every few years. The best first resource I would recommend is Reddit, you can ask them questions and knowledgeable people are there. https://reddit.com/r/cryonics/ The Main 3 Cryonics Companies, I believe, are Alcor and the CryonicsInstitute both in the United States. The Third is KrioRus, in Europe. https://alcor.org https://www.cryonics.org/ http://kriorus.ru/en

Is there a committee within our Nation that deals with the possibility of intelligent life off our planet? Do we have a protocol written for how to handle, who is responsible for being our Nations Ambassador for this? Do we take sightings seriously? Do we have a sub-committee that researches an reaches out to groups like Mufon to track an share information. Or is our stand the same as earth governments of: see something, say nothing or we ruin your life.
