Asgardia: The First Kingdom Formed in the Outer Space

Asgardia, the first piece of the Kingdom to be created in space, was dispatched, it was revealed during a press conference on Wednesday, October 11. The launch of Asgardia 1, according to the advertising, is only the beginning and it is a modest nanosat.

The first kingdom formed in outer space is Asgardia.

One of the founders of Asgardia stated that the reason for creating the kingdom was to think ahead because they intended for that city to become their place of residence. It appears that the name Asgardia was inspired by the Marvel science fiction film series, which describes a kingdom in space that is inhabited by supermen. Permanent in space, where they can live and work by their own rules and laws, and they also have plans to protect Earth from any threats or dangers.

The International Space Station, according to Ram Jakho of McGill University. It is nothing more than a small facility controlling by a group of Countries, while Asgardia, on the other hand, will have its own internationally recognisable independent sovereignty. While there is little technological difference between the two.

Ram Jakho

Ram Jakho is one of Asgardia’s founders, though he hasn’t said much about it. So it is unclear who exactly is behind the country’s creation at this point. According to a report in the business magazine Business Insider, the real financiers of Asgardia may be Russian billionaire Igor Ashurbeyli, Romanian astronaut Dumitru Doreen, David Alexander from Rice University, and Joseph N. Pelton from the University of Washington. It is also likely that Jeffrey Manber, who spoke at the same press conference, was present.

Moreoever, It appears that residency in Asgardia is not a requirement for candidature. Because there are already 122 candidates in this election and 72,000 votes have been casting. It also appears that the Kingdom of Asgardia is still without a king as there have already been parliamentary elections for the city of Asgardia, in which anyone can run and vote for themselves.

The selection of a flag, the Queen’s motto, and the national anthem are all up for competition. Even so, Hong Ahri’s flag from Korea received the most votes with 17,000. It may come as a shock to learn that there are people who want to leave the planet, but according to Jacho, it is in our nature to do so. And finally, I’d want to stress that we want to explore uncharted territory.

Orbital Hard drive

Furthermore, the 512 GB orbital hard drive was launched on board the Asgardia 1. The residents of Asgardian are represented through their images and personal data. The disc will be splitting among the first 1.5 million Asgardian citizens in the manner below. The first 100,000 citizens of Asgard will receive 300 kilobytes of storage space. The following 400,000 will receive 200 kilobytes, and the last million will receive 100 kilobytes each. Citizens of Asgard are not oblige to renounce their current citizenship in order to become citizens of Asgard.

Even with the possibility of being recognising by the UN. The idea of founding a kingdom in space initially seems absurd. However, in Jago’s words. Every time someone tried to break out of his comfort zone and try something new, they were all dismissing as crazy. This goes to show that everything amazing starts with a crazy idea, and that eventually science fiction becomes science fact.
