I am posting this so that anyone interested in using this as a school project or science project for promoting Asgardia, Science and space Technological studies it would be easy. It is also something you could do as a table item along with a star and planet map if you set up a table to promote Asgardia membership / interest. Below are a couple of links for 2 different kinds of telescopes. One is a larger project and the other something more simple for younger kids. You can always download the videos and add your translation for languages other than English.

I would like the opportunity to represent Asgardia to future members in Fez Morocco. I am hoping to share ideas of not only increasing the concept and ideals of Asgardia in my local community, but also to increase the number of participants in my community. This in turn will increase the number of opportunities for members to volunteer their various skills to further the awareness of Asgardia to the young and old.

Some programs of interest would be Scientific discussions or symposiums, science kits to be used in class rooms, invitations to discuss Asgardia with Q&A in our local community and of course meet-ups and activities.

I am posting this information here in case anyone may be interested to Volunteer with Civic Asgardia.

But volunteering can bring other benefits, too—one being a great boost for your career. Here’s how volunteering can help you thrive.

Name: Jewell "Zahira" Ledoux

Country: Morocco

Volunteer Position / Department: Volunteers Coordinator

Brief background about me: I was born in Luling Louisiana. I am a foodie and really enjoy many different types of cuisine. A couple of my favorites are Spanish and Italian. I also have a strong interest in technology and space. I hope to one day be able to try AI in a work environment with virtual reality. Professionally I am an Office Coordinator, but have had extensive experience in several different fields. A couple of my favorite places to work was a Wireless Company doing technical support and a Behavioral Health Service. I enjoy meeting new people, helping people and sharing ideas on topics of interest. My hobbies are cooking, baking, shopping (window shopping) and moments with friends and family. I'm sure it would be no surprise that I have an affinity for the Internet. I am currently brushing up on some basic coding skills and practicing on some graphic design abilities as well.

What brought me to Asgardia? I am looking for a better opportunity for my kids to live in. I wish that I could to, but endeavors such as this one will take many years to become a reality. I only wish for peace, tolerance and safety. I think everyone deserves at least that much. From there we can build the life and environment we wish for ourselves and future generations to enjoy. The concept of Asgardia encompasses all of those ideas for me.

What I like about Asgardia? The thing I like most about Asgardia, it is an opportunity for a future that many have only been able to dream of, and spent their whole lives wishing for. A chance for Unity and a place where humanity can be free to be human. A place where we can one day have equal respect, tolerance and rights. It's a dream worth working to bring into reality.

What I hope the future will bring with Asgardia? I hope for Peace, Tolerance, Prosperity and Safety. May we be successful!

Smashing a spacecraft into an Earth-bound asteroid could prevent armageddon

NASA is one step closer to testing its proposed line of defence against the threat of a potential asteroid impact on Earth. The "kinetic impactor technique" essentially involves smashing a spacecraft into an asteroid to bounce it away from the Earth. Which sounds a lot saner than the plan hatched in Armageddon of sending oil drillers and a nuclear bomb.

There has been much discussion about space governance in the past here on the groups and in the Forums. So I wanted to share this bit of information on that topic.

For over two, years some 80 space scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, regulators and space lawyers from around the world have been engaged in an ‘International Study on Global Space Governance’. In advance of its publication later this year, the articles in this special section of ROOM highlights key aspects of the study and assess some of the many challenges to establishing a viable and effective rule of law governing activities in outer space.

How cool is this?! Scientists have found a comet producing its own oxygen!

"The finding shows that oxygen can be generated in space without the need for life, and could influence how researchers search for signs of life on exoplanets."

Time for some FUN! Each month we will have an Asgardian Movie Picks theme. This month it is Space Comedy . The volunteers of Asgardia have chosen their favorites, making a list of our Top 20. Here is where you guys join in. We would like for you to choose your favorites from this list.

So please take a moment to make your selections, and maybe even find some suggestions of movies that you may not have seen yet. Have Fun! Let us know if you have any questions.
