The operation has been carried out from the SpaceX test center in Boca Chica (Texas) and represents the culmination of years of regulatory work and technological tests. SpaceX management has repeatedly stressed its experimental nature, since its first orbital launch attempt in 2021, but suffered delays in development and in obtaining approval from the US Federal Aviation Administration. Earlier, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk noted that the mission has about a 50% chance of success. "I'm not saying it will reach orbit, but I guarantee excitement," he said. The Starship, which is 120 meters tall and can carry 100 to 150 tons of payload, is a fully reusable transport rocket that will carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon and eventually Mars.

Late yesterday a nice number appeared on the Asgardia national website counter: 1,099,999 Asgardians. This morning it has already increased. The population of the first Space Nation in the world already exceeds the figure of 1,100,000 inhabitants. Asgardia's population is made up of Asgardians registered on their national website and verified by identity verification. Following the announcement of the creation of Asgardia by the founder of the Space Nation, Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, the Ophiuchus 6,0000 (October 12, 2016) at a press conference in Paris, about half a million people registered on asgardia.space in the first two weeks. That figure now stands at more than one million one hundred thousand. These are people from more than 200 countries around the world. For example, as of 23 Taurus 0007 (April 17, 2023) alone, the Asgardians included new supporters of Asgardian ideas from Russia, India, China, Turkey, Kazakhstan, UK, and Ukraine. In the future the population of Asgardia will increase to 150 million people, 2% of the population of the Earth, which will make the country that is building a home for humanity in space one of the 12 largest countries in terms of population and in one of the 12 most sustainable economies on Earth. The backbone of Asgardia's economy is made up of its residents. Space Nation residency is now analogous to the institution of citizenship. Residents have the right to hold public office, do business in Asgardia, and are granted electoral rights. This summer they will participate in the elections to the Second Parliament. They will take place from 01 to 02 Leo 0007 (June 18-19, 2023). Candidate registration is already underway. An Asgardian resident will be part of the crew of the International Isolation Experiment SIRIUS-23 in November 2023, making a personal contribution to space research and moving closer to the Space Nation's main scientific goal. This goal is to create all the conditions for the birth of the first baby in space, which will symbolize the immortality of the human race.

"We welcome the invitation from the Government of the People's Republic of China to participate in the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project, thus becoming the first country invited to join this important project, which is currently under development. and it is planned to be built from 2030 ”, indicates the statement.

2 months after the Asgardia parliamentary elections, the 'Juice' mission to Jupiter is successfully launched The European Space Agency (ESA) has successfully launched today, at 2:14 p.m., Spanish peninsular time, the Juice space probe. The launch was scheduled for Thursday at the European space center in French Guiana, but was canceled due to the risk of lightning. The Juice mission will explore Jupiter and three of its moons: Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. After yesterday's failed attempt, the Ariane 5 rocket has taken off perfectly from the Kourou spaceport. In a few seconds it was lost in the clouds while dozens of scientists and engineers watched it from the terraces of the space center, and many other people tried to spot it from the beach and pleasure boats.

The first part of our Asgardian Parliamentarians' responses can be found here. It should be remembered that the elections for the second Parliament of Asgardia are currently underway. What has been your biggest challenge? The biggest challenge I face is finding time to contribute as much as I would like. With the recent pandemic, my role as a doctor has been forever changed and the workplace I knew has been transformed. Such challenges make my participation more difficult than when I first joined, but they also make it more important that my perspective and representation of such a changing profession be represented in this global body. brian froelke Collaborating with colleagues who aren't always rational-minded, which is good, but can sometimes lead to difficult communication, different language, and mismatched priorities. Luca Sorriso-Valvo Due to the problems experienced during the pandemic, the 2020 and 2023 earthquakes in my country, and the workload, my biggest difficulties were not being able to attend intermediate meetings sufficiently. Prof. Dr. Sebahattin Devecioğlu I have found it frustrating at times and strangely similar to trying to have a deep philosophical discussion with a colorblind dog about the possible existence of a color palette beyond his experience. The response has been something like this: "Roses are grey, violets are grey. If you think otherwise, get out of our way!" Dr Millard Deutsch The language barrier, it is not always easy to express my ideas or opinions in English. rolando berga The biggest challenge has been time, as for many of us in Parliament. Ricky Sickles The language barrier has been the biggest challenge. Gestures and jokes go a long way in breaking the ice. Ferda Inan My biggest challenge was being a politician. Before Asgardia I had never been interested in politics. Bernd Queck I guess my biggest challenge was overcoming my lack of experience in parliamentary procedure. It was my first time running for election and once I got a seat it was hard to know what to do as I had never done it before. I was very grateful to have a group of people around me who taught me what to do and what not to do during parliamentary meetings. Dan Shoemaker Finding understanding with colleagues who don't speak the language and not worrying about it when talking to them. Ariadne Gallardo Figueroa

Many people on planet Earth have dreamed of space since childhood, of being involved in space research, but have given up on the dream because as they get older, space seems increasingly unattainable and the professions associated with it. inaccessible. Today, thanks to Asgardia, the impossible becomes possible: everyone has the opportunity to go through the school of space researchers, make a personal contribution to space science and get closer to the main goal of the Space Nation, which strives to make outer space a worthwhile second home for humanity. Science with a higher purpose - space science - is capable of defeating terrestrial chaos and giving humanity immortality. Sophisticated research is already underway on Earth to fulfill Asgardia's mission: the birth of the first human baby in space.

The universe is full of magnetic fields that are produced when the nuclei of atoms become positively ionized and their electrons become negatively charged. Astronomers point out that galactic-scale magnetic fields come from collisions between and within interstellar plasma. However, magnetic fields should exist on even larger scales, that is, the larger scale of space known as the cosmic web. Large superclusters of galaxies separated by barren voids and linked by fine filaments of intergalactic material form an ionized cosmic web with vast, weak magnetic fields. Although such fields cannot be detected millions of light-years away, it is possible to observe the radio light emitted by charged particles as electrons and other particles spiral along magnetic field lines. However, the filaments of the cosmic web are so diffuse that the light to be studied can be hindered by stronger radio signals.
