Asgardia has united people who speak English, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Bengali, Indonesian and other languages, but they all share one dream, which is the peaceful and equal exploration of space. Let's all get together in one multilingual video! :) Record a clip of you saying ‘I am a Resident of Asgardia!’ in your mother tongue. Post it to your social media account with the hashtags #Asgardia4years and #AsgardiaSpaceNation. We’ll add it to the video! Don’t forget to include your name, country and city. We’ll give the first ten participants of the challenge mugs with Asgardian symbols so that you can have a cozy tea party under the stars!
