20,000 sign up to Asgardia LIVE FOREVER scientific plan

Lena De Winne, who spent 15 years at the European Space Agency, claims that human progress is “on the verge of a quantum leap” in technology that will make humanity immortal as a species. She said: “I know this this sounds like science fiction. But instead it is science fact. We have now reached a level of technological progress that we can seriously prepare for the first wave of human settlements in outer space. “Once we have achieved that, certainly feasible over the next 25 years, even the sky is no longer the limit.”

Further settlements and the development of space arks, giant craft with artificial gravity where people can live and travel for years, all come onto the horizon.”

Ms De Winne, is currently a senior member of the “space nation” Asgardia which includes leading scientists and international politicians.

Currently, Asgardia’s residency is open to everyone on the planet and already has 20,000 citizens as well as one million followers across the globe. 

Its mission is to ensure that mankind becomes immortal and in time comes to populate the galaxy. And when it does so, it does so without exporting the divisions and cruelties that have marred so much of human development.

She told Express online that the key to humanity leaving earth was the creation of artificial gravity.

She said: “Once we have achieved that, certainly feasible over the next 25 years, even the sky is no longer the limit. Further settlements and the development of space arks, giant crafts with artificial gravity where people can live and travel for years, all come onto the horizon.

“These developments are certain. In time, we will indeed ‘slip the surly bonds of earth’ and begin the long and hazardous business of establishing ourselves across the solar system and ultimately beyond.

“Centuries from now we will have established that there is a Plan B or even a ‘Planet B’ and that the human race, if not individuals, can live for ever.”

Already, concerted moves are afoot to make these dreams a reality. 

Asgardia’s leader, the Azerbaijani billionaire, Dr Igor Ashurbeyli, a scientist and entrepreneur, has set the goal of achieving the first human birth in space in the next quarter of a century and we are now working with scientists across the world to achieve this monumental breakthrough.

But Ms De Winne, who is “minister for information” at Asgadia, has warned that there needs to be an international agreement on governance in space.

She said: “Just as big, if not bigger, are matters of governance. At its simplest, space must not become a new arena for conflict between nations competing to exercise sovereign power over the rest of the solar system.

“That is the danger as – much like the colonial wars of expansion and conquest of the 19th Century – the major powers fight for dominance.

“True, the 1967 Outer Space Treaty prevents terrestrial powers claiming sovereignty over celestial bodies such as the moon and also outlaws the stationing of nuclear weapons on such platforms. It also insists that the exploration of outer space must be to the benefit of all nations.”
