˜”*°• ASGARDIA, Earth's First Space Nation •°*”˜
Launch of the Asgardia-1 satellite
The virtual space nation was founded in the autumn last year by the russian scientist Igor Ashurbeyli.
On November 12 - 2017, a rocket of the US company Orbital Science, took off from the Wallops Center on the coast of Virginia.

The inventor of Asgardia describes the project as "a global, unifying and humanitarian one", even wanting the nation's accession to the UN.
The Citizens of Asgardia
The new territory has already been occupied by 156,934+ citizens, of which 875 Romanians, including the cosmonaut Dumitru Prunariu.
Most Asgardian citizens are the Americans with a total of 21,829, followed by Turks with 18,189 members, and the third place is hold by the Chinese, with a population of 13,723.
Among the countries participating in this project we enumerate a few more here: Great Britain, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, India, Brazil, Russia, France, Japan, the Arabian Emirates, Sweden, Austria, Croatia, Portugal, Hungary, etc.
In fact, this space territory is just a satellite-loaded hard disk that contains the Asgardian Constitution, the symbols of the new nation - the flag and the sun, as well as the 156,934 + messages of the Asgardian citizens.
According to the team behind the project, citizens have the possibility to store data on their satellite free of charge, without complying with earthly laws.
According to the official site, those interested may apply to be citizens of Asgardia with one condition, namely to respect the Constitution of this territory from space.
Messages stored on the Asgardia-1 satellite
The messages of 156,934+ citizens have not been read, they will float in space, 400 kilometers away from Earth.
The satellite that carries these messages will walk through space for a year and a half with the flags flying on it before it collapses. It is a way of transmitting our messages to the Universe.
"These are historic days. Our names and data will remain forever in the memory of the new space humanity as they will be reinstalled on each Asgardia satellite next to come; they will reach the Moon and anywhere in the Universe ...
The first 100,000 people who have become asgardians can send up to 500 KB each to Asgardia-1, the next 400,000 Asgardians can send up to 200 KBs, the following citizens, up to one million, can send up to 100 KB each, after which they will shut down the storage free of charge, " said Igor Ashurbeyli, a russian scientist and chief of nation at the press conference lately in Hong Kong. - source Asgardia Space Concept

Yes @doctorcrypto, at first look i was like you, perplex. But to be honest, would you send out a satellite full of crypto coins ? LoL - if something happens we would have golden rain here on earth . Now, getting back to earth, the more we get into Asgardia, the more interesting it gets; maybe I come back with the Why?!
