Hello! I’m Rebekah, though people can call me Roo. At the time of posting this, I’m a twenty three. I’m an author with my first book being published in 2015. As like most of you, I’m interested in Space and wanting to expand humanity’s options of life beyond Earth. I’m in no way fit to run as a candidate of any kind, but my political views stand somewhere between Liberitarian and Centrist. I’m currently writing my third book, Sayler (working title), and hope to be finished soon. I haven’t gone to college yet, but want to take English with a concentration in Creative Writing. If you have any questions you want to ask me, post it in the comments below and I’ll make a Q&A post. Feel free to add me as a friend.

As a Star Wars junkie and Trekkie, space has always been an area of great interest to me. When I first heard of Asgardia the first thing that came to my mind was the echo of Patrick Stewart boasting of leading a team into "the final frontier" and exploring "where no one has gone before".

We only have one Earth, and we (as a race) are destroying it. I don't just mean with pollution and war, but with politics, greed, and selfishness. Asgardia is a chance to fix these wrongs. Utopian-esque societies in the past have not been successful, and we have no reason to believe that Asgardia will be any different. But we must try.

Hope is a strong good and powerful tool, invaluable and unbeatable. We all want to take part in this venture in that hope of a better tomorrow, which is our right. To quote Alexander the Great, "Nothing is impossible to he who will try."

My plan is the following.  I'm going to quit my job to run an ebay store in October.  This ebay store will hopefully provide me with just enough money to survive.  Starting in January, I'm going to begin writing a book.  This book will convince people that we must genetically modify humans.  Smarter, healthier, and enhanced humans will be instrumental in the future of our civilization.  Governments must legalize it, and scientists must work on it.

Keep in mind that genetic engineering is quite a difficult problem.  At this point, we don't know how people should be modified.  There's alot of work that needs to be done to determine what genes are advantageous.  Even if we knew all this now and modified human fetuses today, it would be 20+ years before they would enter the work force.  So this is more of a long term plan.

I'm not a scientist.  I can't do genetic engineering myself.  I've looked into it a little bit, and I doubt that it's something it could even learn how to do within any reasonable time frame.  My goal is to resolve the ethical problems facing genetic engineers and lawmakers.  This should allow the removal of at least some of the barriers to performing the genetic modification of humans.

I plan to complete my book by the end of next year.  I will split my time between the ebay store and the book so that I have some small level of income during its writing.

No one really has any reason to to listen to me, but I believe I can solve ethical problems quite easily.  Genetic engineering is alot harder than ted talks by genetic engineers would indicate to you, but ethics is alot easier to deal with.

I have no idea what any of the different levels of leader in Asgardia will actually do, but I should have some amount of time to participate during the next year.

Now that Crispr has been developed, it's time to begin working towards the genetic modification of humans.  Now, I would like to point out that genetic engineering is really difficult.  We can't just poop out Superman tomorrow.  Rather, we need to study what genes have what effects in humans and find potentially beneficial genes to add in.  Then we should test these genes by inserting individual genes into groups of fetuses and then observing them as they grow into adults.  Some of these modifications will prove to be useful, while some may prove to be harmful.

There is risk, but we must embrace it for humanity to move forward.

I am two days late!  I learned about Asgardia on Asgard 03, 0001 and immediately applied.  Sure, it's crazy; sure, it's an impossible dream.  But God/Goddess/HigherPower/Param Parush knows that the world needs dreamers now more than ever.  I am thrilled to be an almost-charter member.

Hello, Asgardia!  Today I was finally able to complete my information and receive my certificate; last week there were site issues (yay for all the traffic!).  I'm excited to be a part of something that could really change Humanity for the better.  Earth systems stay on Earth.  This will be a demanding task since Earth systems are all that we know.  A lot of careful thinking and planning is needed.  We all need to work together to make sure Asgardia is everything it's meant to be, and nothing that it's not.  Keep our sight clear and our words pure!

I won't lie, I was a bit surprised to see the vote for the Declaration and Constitution to be up so soon. Although this post has been made on Unity Day, I am happy to have voted before Asgard 1st to ratify both, becoming the 909th person to do so. #VoteEarlyVoteOften

Congratulations Asgardia for yet another giant leap for Mankind and our future on Planet Earth. I will be uploading several of these posts to Asgardia-1 over the next few days, hoping that they will be seen by everyone aboard our project and the rest of the Asgardians.

Until then, this is Shron Truly of the USA-signing off for now. Happy Unity Day to everyone!

We have all seen what we are capable of, and where we have been. Now, as the future lays before us, we have the chance to choose where we can go. Vote for me, and I will work with every fiber of my being to ensure that you, the people, have your voice heard among the sea that is the world.

Greetings and good day, fellow Asgardians. My name is Sean Truly, I am a new citizen of Asgardia and hope to help wherever I can here on this forum. I am 23 years old and from the Mid-Atlantic seaboard of the United States of America. As a Political Scientist and Philosopher, I find myself compelled by the works of our Head of State (Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli) and hope to broaden my knowledge of these subjects before I return to my local University to obtain a degree. As a young scholar, I am also an avid linguist, writer, and have submitted my work to countless amateur compilations and forums throughout the web on sites like Myspace, Facebook, Wikipedia, Amino, and others. I am fluent in English (my home language), and working on becoming fluent in German and Spanish-I can also read in Latin and Hebrew to a degree, though I was mostly self-taught in those languages. If you have any questions for me or my understanding of Asgardia-please comment and let me know. Until then, reach for the stars.

I'm curious how accumulation of wealth will be handled upon ones expiration.  Would it could it be transferred to surviving family?  What of taxes in such cases?  What if the only surviving family is located on Earth?

Hey All! I've been called many names over the years (most of the bad, lol), but you can call me Mark! By day, I'm an engineer specializing in electronics design and repair. By night, I'm a tinkerer who dabbles in everything, from engineering, to history & philosophy, to music and drawing.

I used to dabble in cooking, but then my friends started calling me an Alchemist, (and demanded my recipes) so I've slowed down in the kitchen. :P
