Have you heard of Asgardia?? Are you a citizen of Asgardia??

Good Morning Steemians!!!!!

Isn't it a great Morning, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is well with the world.

Have you heard of Asguardia yet??
What is it?
Well it's not a game first off.

(Source Wikipedia)

Well Asguardia is a space nation, which was launched in October 2016. It is officially known as The space kingdom of asguardia. It is the intention of setting up its own nation in space!!!!
It was founded by a group of scientists and is let by Dr Igor Ashurbeyeli who is the founder of Aerospace and international research centre. He is also the chairman of UNESCO's Science and Space Committee. He is also very very rich, a russian billionaire and plans to heavily invest in the project.

Why are they doing this?

From what I can gather the principle of this is to create a perfect utopia, no war, no crime no famine, to create a mirror of humanity but with no blocks of states or religions. There are 12 official languages of asguardia english is considered a working language

It is the intention for a space station to be built to orbit the earth and for Asguardians to be able to live in peace with each other, whilst being able to protect the earth and space.

I can't help but think this reminds me of the movie Elysium.

Asgardian Calendar..

It would also seem that Asgardia has its own Calender, it has 13 months of the year and each day is 28 days, it even has its own year which currently is the year Asgardia 0001. The additional month is called Asgardia which is between June and July in the Gregorian calender.
The 1st of Asgardia is known as Asgardian National Unity Day
The 5th of October in the Asgardian calender (12 of October in the gregorian calender) is Asgardia's Birthday.
The 31st of December does not exist in the Asgardian calendar and seemingly this is celebrated as year day.

Satellite

Asgardia plans to launch a satellite in September this year to orbit the earth and Citizens are being invited to upload a 100kb picture to be put into the satellite data that will orbit the Earth. This is a nano satellite which will piggy back onto a supply trip to the ISS in September. (source dailymail.co.uk)

Many experts believe that this plan will not come to fruition as there are too many obstacles in the way, primarily the main one being money

On June 13th a press event was held about the satellite launch in Hong Kong, you can watch the press release here.

Flag, insignia, national anthem.
Voting is also underway for the Asgardian, Flag, insignia and national anthem which you can vote for online.

In my opinion a very interesting concept, but I very much doubt will happen in our lifetime, but it is good to see these people come together with a common goal.

So are you already an Asgardian Citizen, have you casted your votes yet.
