Let's have an interesting discussion. Upon the construction of the first space ark. The Structure of it is important. However the launch and construction is just as important. Would it be built in space on some kind of dock? Or shot out of the atmosphere like a rocket?

What kind of materials are we talking about? I think that the first Space Ark should hold at least 5000 regular citizens and should be able to also support 500 visitors. The Ark should have entertainment, education and athletics. However some sort of artificial gravity is required. Also getting supplies to and from. What can Asgardia do to make an economy?

Many people know about SpaceX and their plans and achievements but I just now came across this project. This is a plan for a space dock called "The Gateway." For some reason I haven't heard about this project as well as many other people. The team over there includes John Blincow, President John Blincow has worked as a pilot for 24 years, flying all over the world in such aircraft as the Boeing 757, DC-10, and Boeing 747-400. John Blincow’s experience as a pilot instructor includes United Airlines, Boeing Flight Safety, and as a security instructor for The Transportation Security Administration (TSA). John Blincow graduated with a B.A. from Cal State San Bernardino in 1996. Dr. Thomas Spilker, Chief Architect Dr. Thomas R. Spilker earned his Ph.D. from Stanford University and then worked for more than 20 years as both a scientist and engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Retiring in 2012, he started his own consulting business as a space flight mission architect. Tom worked on NASA’s Voyager, Cassini, and Genesis missions, and is a Co-Investigator for the MIRO instrument on ESA’s Rosetta mission.

If I hear Asgardia called a cult outside of our members anymore, I shall puke. Why do you think we have that public image and how do we stop people from thinking like that of us? I'm proud to be part of the world's first space nation and you are too. How do we help other people think better of us and what encounters have you had about our image outside of the Asgardia community?

In order to operate the world’s first education system to unite people from over 40 individual countries, we must start an online forum of sorts to unite top teachers to communicate with each other. Communication should be easy considering online translators which are pretty accurate as of the current date in the year 2018.

It is important we do this as of now so we will be prepared by that very time that the first ark is launched, therefore we will be ready.

The most experienced and trained  teachers should be able to teach new people to do the same but with the new Asgardian Education Standards. The Asgardian Education Standards should be determined by a group of top educators that should be selected by Parliament members that would pick the top teachers of the districts.

The number of head teachers in every district should be determined by how many people are in a district. A register will be kept of all head teachers past and present and their contributions to Asgardian society. This is important.

The head teacher is given the responsibility of training new and upcoming head teachers and teaching the people of Asgardia. Not to mention they also have to decide among the other head teachers of all districts and other in their own district, the Asgardian Education Standards.

The education standards can be looked upon as we call "common core" in a school district. State education standards have been around since the 1990s. By the 2000s, every single state in the U.S had developed and adopted its very own learning standards that specify what students in grades 3-8 and high school should be able to do. Every state also had its very own definition of proficiency, which is at the level at which a student is determined to be sufficiently educated at each and every grade level and upon when they graduate. This lack of standardization is one of the very reasons why states decided to develop the Common Core State Standards in 2009. That is why we must also have Asgardian Education Standards. This is in order to make sure we have a strong responsible and high quality form of education in Asgardia, which will be second to no other education system.

Don't worry an individualized approach towards students can be part of Asgardian Education Standards. This is decided by whether or not it is chose by the council of top teachers from every district as you know was mentioned previously. The Asgardian Education Standards can be remade if more than 50% of the top teachers on the educational council vote to rewrite them. The Asgardian Education Standards could include or may not include virtually anything that is decided by the top teachers. Such as proper job preparation, economics, science, math, languages. It is important that top teachers think for the entire education system as a whole and every district when deciding on the standards.

It is important that the parliament members select the appropriate top teachers because they are the future and decide the Asgardian Education Standards. These are the very standards that will eventually be followed by the teachers and given to the youth. The youth are the very future of Asgardia and humanities space ventures. An appropriate and important standard must be made and this is ensured by picking appropriate top teachers. The human race is relying on us, the dear inhabitants of Asgardia to pick appropriate parliament members so that those elected members can pick the very teachers that will decide on the education system of the future.

It is very strongly important that we teach the people that learning can be enjoyable and not just a chore, and how that learning can elevate them to a lot higher forms of their every thought and important communication. Also that education will help them in all walks of life. Everyone remembers going to a public school and asking why do I need to know this to do "blank." We will ensure that it never is said and repeated again.

So it is with this, that I have presented to you the important education system of the future through The Asgardian Education system. Asgardians will revolutionize the education world like never seen before, with hands on learning with 3D on screen programs and 3D printing making it the best education system. Now we can put students in any era of history using VR.That will give its important students as never seen before in the history in mankind by applying appropriate education not just for society as a whole but also for the students, and the future of the human race. The whole world is watching and relying on Asgardia to bring us into the next century and the next millennium. As Asgardians we proudly do that which has never been done before and somehow better.
