Astronomy is particular, analytic (as in geometry), and inductive.
Cosmology is universal, synthetic (as in geometry), and deductive.
Both as in the meaning of logic as a branch of science and a branch of philosophy.
Asgardia is not astronomy, but she is cosmology.

Good and clear definition !
But I'd say Asgardia is not just one of these two choices, it's both.
It's likewise pushing the mind through its recent limits and also bringing forward the ability to explore space in astronomical ways.
That means it also needs to be both, to be a functioning part of communication between space and earth, as well as particular and universal at the same time.
Spread an open mind !! Joshua

Asgardia can not be both now, because of it is not only one now.
As I see in philosophy history, even big masters of philosophy could not be both either.
Asgardia declares particularity, ie reel spacism, like reel socialism: Revolution in one state, spacism in one state.
Asgardia is not universal, she can not be, she has not declared it so, no space state can be so in the first 5 centuries of spacism.
We are limited in our thoughts, in our lives, in our states, in our history, in our future.
Because we are mortals. There are people being interested in immortality like Imminst peoople, but it is a different issue. Asgardia is not interested in immortality, human cloning like Rael, head transplantation like firstly it will be done in 2017. At least now. At least it has not been declared.
Particularity may be enough in the beginning. But you must obey the rules put before you. These are mostly scientific rules.
