Humanity’s desire to go into space is dictated by evolution. Far from being strange or aberrant, it is the natural next step for our species. Yet our cosmic expansion is bound to run up against barriers, which could include the rise of a new, post-human species to take our place. As radical as this might sound, it’s nowhere near as problematic as the possibility that the Universe is a fractal, and all life within it is doomed to fail. Today, the idea that humanity is at the centre of all creation - the anthropocentric view - continues to dominate. Yet the idea of universal evolution can cure that. Humanity is not the main goal, nor the final step in evolution - it’s merely an intermediate stage. Evolution doesn’t ‘care’ about humanity’s interests, or the interests of any species. At any given time, evolution favours those species that are best equipped to survive. For a time, evolution’s ‘idol’ was the Neanderthal, which was replaced by what we know today as Homo sapiens. Tomorrow, humans will be replaced by something else. Issue #32 2023LoungeIs human space exploration DOOMED?

Sergei Khaitun Moscow, Russia Share Humanity’s desire to go into space is dictated by evolution. Far from being strange or aberrant, it is the natural next step for our species. Yet our cosmic expansion is bound to run up against barriers, which could include the rise of a new, post-human species to take our place. As radical as this might sound, it’s nowhere near as problematic as the possibility that the Universe is a fractal, and all life within it is doomed to fail.

Humanity is not the main goal, nor the final step in evolution - it’s merely an intermediate stage. Evolution doesn’t ‘care’ about humanity’s interests, or the interests of any species. At any given time, evolution favours those species that are best equipped to survive. For a time, evolution’s ‘idol’ was the Neanderthal, which was replaced by what we know today as Homo sapiens. Tomorrow, humans will be replaced by something else. Neanderthals could n’t compete with Homo sapiensNeanderthals couldn’t compete with Homo sapiens - will the same happen to us when post-human species evolve? Humanity has ‘conquered’ Earth but what we might call the ‘law of expansion’ forces humanity to look towards space to further widen the scope of its successes The main demands of the march of evolution, what we might call evolution’s vector are as follows: Increase in complexity Increase in diversity Intensifications of metabolisms/interactions Intensification of cycles Growth of structural integrity Growth of open systems (the rising role of interaction with the environment) Growth in the fractality of evolving systems. Following evolution’s vector isn’t everything. Evolution takes a given set of consequences and wrings out all possibilities, forcing evolving systems to grow more complex and diversified. But what does this really mean? Thanks to Alexei Severtsov (1866-1936), the following idea became rooted in biological evolution: progressive refinements differ from un-progressive ones in that the former pave the way for more refinements. If we generalise that, we reach the principle of minimax in evolution: in the course of evolution, the intensity of metabolism grows, leading to subsequent intensifications of metabolism.

Dramatic headlines regaled the space community this spring, some published by newspapers that ought to know better. “Russia and China building Moon base!” they shouted, and “Russia quits International Space Station!” The truth, as usual, is more mundane, but no less interesting. Here we assess the state of play between Russia and China, their lunar and other intentions, cooperation projects in train; and whether this really is the division of the space world into a bipolar domain with Russia and China on one side and the United States, Europe and the rest on the other. To use police vernacular, Russian-Chinese relationships in the space field have ‘form’. They had a bright start in the 1950s when the Soviet Union supplied China with its early rocket designs, but the Chinese always suspected - rightly it seems - that they were sent quite obsolete blueprints. The relationship ended in tears with the great split of 1960, but left an architectural legacy in the form of the design and layout of the early Jiuquan cosmodrome. Lunar axisRussia and China could still be described, at this stage, as flirting with the other, both somewhat nervously This relationship was relatively static until the announcement in March 2021 of an agreement to build a lunar base. This was most likely prompted by the planned American return to the Moon, the Gateway project and then the Artemis Accords. Unlike the International Space Station (ISS), which was designed and operated by a partnership of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada, the United States made it plain from the start that this was an American design and operation. Other countries could offer components, which might or might not be accepted (Europe builds the Orion service module, for example), but it would be NASA-supervised and directed throughout. Having been a co-equal on the ISS, such subordination was not acceptable to a self-respecting space power like Russia, especially the first-ever space-faring nation. Russia never made a secret of its ultimate desire to reach and land on the Moon. Its new piloted spaceship, Orel, was designed from the start with this purpose in mind, along with the new heavy-lift launcher, the Soyuz 5, with a target date of a lunar landing in 2030. Indeed, under the Sirius programme, simulated lunar missions in Orel have already taken place. Russian Orbital Station Russia was indeed considering its own space station, but for pragmatic reasons (the ISS ageing) and it was never intended to be a political statement. Russia had long experience of running more than one manned spaceflight at a time (Soyuz 18B and 19 in 1975); and more than one space station at a time (Mir and Salyut 7 in the 1980s; Mir and ISS from 1998-2001), which over-excited headline writers must have overlooked. Russia was, in any case, still preparing two modules for launch to the ISS, the long-awaited Nauka science module and the new Prichal docking port, hardly signs of an imminent or hurried departure.

Roscosmos, SpaceX Crew Ships Near Launch as Station Prepares 19 hours ago Four Expedition 68 crew members are preparing for their return to Earth next month while also working on space physics and household maintenance tasks. Meanwhile, a two crew ships, one from Roscosmos and one from SpaceX, are nearing their launch to the International Space Station. NASA Flight Engineers Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada reviewed their …

- were partially simulated for six brave researchers. During the eight months of isolation, SIRIUS-21 crew medic Victoria Kirichenko, a resident of Asgardia, together with IPBM scientists, conducted a major research program to achieve the Space Nation's primary scientific goal of the birth of a baby in space The program was called "Evaluation of the impact of isolation on the immunological, microbiological status and bone-mineral metabolism of women." On 16 Leo 0006 (July 3, 2022) the isolation part of the experiment ended. Victoria Kirichenko, along with the other SIRIUS crew members, left the IPBM's sealed test facility. On Leo 19 (July 6) a reception was held for the managers and scientists of the international SIRIUS project at the Asgardia headquarters in Moscow. Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli presented Victoria Kirichenko with the national award established on 18 Leo 0006 (July 5, 2022): the Certificate of Recognition of the Head of the Nation and the "Space Baby" badge for her contribution to the development of the scientific area from Asgardia.

Russia suspends its participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, also known as START III or New START, the country's President Vladimir Putin announced on Tuesday. "I have to announce today that Russia suspends its participation in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. I repeat: it does not leave the agreement, but suspends its participation," the president said during his annual speech before the Federal Assembly (the Russian Parliament). In this context, he explained that, to resume its participation, Moscow must understand how the joint NATO arsenal will be accounted for. "Before we return to the discussion on this issue, we need to understand what the North Atlantic Alliance countries like France and the UK are claiming and how we are going to account for their strategic arsenals, i.e. the alliance's full attack potential." stressed. Explaining the measure, the president pointed out that, at the beginning of February of this year, NATO made a declaration in which "de facto" it demanded a return to the implementation of the treaty, including the admission of inspections of nuclear and defense facilities of Russia. "I don't even know what to call it. It's a theater of the absurd," Putin said.

Dear Asgardians, happy start to the week, I greet you and send you a big hug. let's unite to promote world peace and the peaceful use of space, we cannot allow there to be a nuclear war because as we all know it would be total annihilation.

The militarization of space is a reality. The great powers have taken the step of putting satellites into orbit that can attack and destroy the spacecraft of the adversary or of third States. The consequences for those who suffer these attacks can be catastrophic, because their communications, navigation and defense systems will be partially or totally disabled. This scenario raises, as in nuclear war, the possibility of a preventive attack aimed at avoiding being left in the hands of the adversary in a possible war. The United States and Russia have the capacity to carry out these actions, but the rest of the powers do not want to be left behind. The rest try to follow the great powers, which are the ones that dictate the rules of the system. The great powers also dispute in space the maintenance of primacy in the global international system and try to ensure that, in the event of confrontation, they can disable and destroy the capacity for command and control, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ( ISR) of the adversary, because without satellites its defense capacity against the devastating power of precision guided weapons is reduced. From this follows the rule that whoever dominates space will dominate Earth in a war. This is one of the fundamental tenets of Friedman's work on power in international relations in this century, when he asserts that the wars of the future will be fought in space because adversaries will seek to destroy the space systems that allow them to select targets and the navigation and communications satellites to render useless their military capacity. Consequently, both the United States and Russia, and also China, finance large space programs and develop new technologies aimed at obtaining unconventional satellites and space planes, so one can speak unequivocally of the militarization of space, as we will see in the following headings.

Besides the HRP Investigators’ Workshop held near Houston, NASA had another conference in Houston last week. Cheryl Gallagher, Minister of Culture of Asgardia, attended the 29th annual Space Exploration Educators Conference gala and award ceremony held at NASA Space Center Houston. She was hosted by Mr. Liam Kennedy, the inventor of ISS-Above, live-streaming video feed from the ISS into classrooms and homes around the world, and witnessed Ms. Dianea Phillips of Quebec, Canada, receive the Cherri Brinley Outstanding Educator Award for her outstanding contributions to space education. Ms. Gallagher fully exploited the opportunity, mingling with space educators and space educational foundations from around the world. She found that the occasion was another possibility to experience the comradery and connectedness pervasive in the space community, and admire the enthusiasm, hard work, devotion, and creativity of the hundreds of space educators, gathered here from all over our planet to share their efforts and discoveries.

Parliament is a unicameral legislature representing all Asgardian citizens. It consists of 150 members selected in equal direct elections at the national level, on the basis of language and in proportion to the 12 official languages ​​of Asgardia. A President and his deputies are elected by the Members of Parliament, from among its members. Parliament is made up of 12 committees whose areas of responsibility correspond to government ministries.

The human heart has a leading role during the month of February. This is America's Heart Month in an effort to raise awareness about heart disease prevention. Valentine's Day is also celebrated, which focuses on the heart as a symbol of love and friendship. Aboard the International Space Station (ISS), the human heart takes center stage year-round. Diseases and other factors such as aging that affect the heart can change a person's overall health and well-being. One such factor is microgravity, and recent studies sponsored by the ISS National Laboratory are looking at ways to protect astronauts from its effects. Because many of the cardiovascular changes seen in astronauts resemble those caused by the aging process, this research is also helping us find ways to prevent and treat aging and heart disease on Earth. Many recent studies carried out on the space station use tissue chips, which are small devices that mimic the functions of human organs. With this tool, three-dimensional (3D) cultures of certain types of cells are obtained, tissues made of cells that have been modified to reproduce specific characteristics, and even organoids or 3D structures made up of all the different types of cells that an organ has in life. particular, including the heart. These real heart substitutes enable new types of research and drug testing. Research completed in 2018, Cardiac Myocytes, showed for the first time that microgravity helps specially programmed stem cells to develop into new heart muscle cells. The experiment brought frozen stem cells back to the space station, where crew members thawed and cultured them before returning the samples to Earth for analysis and comparison with control batches.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The risks of turning space into a theater of war "are taking shape," said Konstantin Vorontsov, deputy head of the Department of Non-Proliferation and Arms Control at the Russian Foreign Ministry. The diplomat pointed out that the goals, objectives and investigations that were carried out within the framework of the US strategic defense initiative, which seemed incredible 40 years ago, do not lose their relevance for Washington.

Parliament It is an assembly or system of assemblies, of a collegiate structure with a polycentric and egalitarian hierarchical base, whose principle is representation and, therefore, its purpose is to intervene in the preparation and execution of political elections that allow guaranteeing compliance with the popular will. The term Parliament is used as a synonym for Legislative Power, Assembly or Congress. Parliaments are usually monocameral or bicameral and their operation and weight can differ depending on the number of political forces and government bodies that comprise it. Parliaments have four fundamental functions: 1) representation, 2) legislation, 3) control of the Executive, and 4) legitimation.
