Scientists have launched the first new space nation. And anyone can become a citizen of it.
This new nation of Asgardia hopes to save the human race twice over . First, it will look to protect it from warfare in space ; and second it will try and keep humanity safe from the dangers coming from outside the atmosphere , protecting us from threats like space debris and asteroid collisions .
Scientists hopes that creating the country is the first step of a new era in the space age.
And they intend to start it by sending rockets into the sky.The country will send its first satellite into space in 2017 .From there , Asgardia hopes to "open up access to space for commerce ,science, and people of all countries on earth."The scientists behind the plan launched it in Paris this month , and named it after the city of skies that was ruled by Odin from Valhalla in Norse mythology .
According to scientists ,Asgardia was created in consultation with ."globally renowned scientists , engineers, entrepreneurs and legal experts."
The country is hoping to become a fully recognized country , said Ashburbeyli, who leads the Aerospace International Research Center in Vienna and is chairman of UNESCO's science and space committee .And when it does so ,it will be able to promote values central to scientists, he claimed.
"Asgardia is a fully -fledged and independent nation , and a future member of the United Nations - with all the attributes this status entails,"he said in a statement ."The essence of Asgardia is 'peace in space ', and the prevention of Earth's conflicts being transferred into space.
Asgardia is also unique from a philosophical aspect - to serve entire humanity and each and everyone , regardless of his or her personal welfare and the prosperity of the country where they happened to be born .
The country will allow for anyone to apply for citizenship.
"Any human living on Earth can become a citizen of Asgardia,' the site's citizenship page reads . It includes a link to a form to join the country , which is done just by handing over your first name , last name , e-mail and the country.
The project hopes to keep people on earth more safe .One of the project's first initiative will be to create a protective shield that keeps human kind "cosmic man made and natural threats to life on earth such as space debris , coronal mass ejections and asteroids
collisions."
Scientists have warned that those threats are being underestimated .Scientists have warned that there are thousands of pieces of debris that could crash down to earth and that coronal mass ejections coming from the sun could potentially wipe out all communication on earth.
