7:54Now PlayingSome scientists are planning a new space colony called “Asgardia.” Maybe preplanning. It’s quite a ways off. Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz, Kim Horcher, and Kenny Hamilton, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Scientists have launched the first new space nation. And anyone can become a citizen of it.
The new space 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 of atmosphere, protecting us from threats like space debris and asteroid collisions.
Those behind Asgardia hope that creating the country is the first step of a new era in the space age. And they intend to start that by sending rockets into the sky.
The country will send its first satellite into space in 2017. From there, Agardia hopes to “open up access to space for commerce, science and peoples of all countries on earth”.”*
