We Talked To The New Leader of Space Nation Asgardia About What The Future Holds

"
Asgardia, a nation of would-be spacefaring futurists, now has its first official head of state.

Since he first created Asgardia in 2016, Igor Ashurbeyli, a Russian computer scientist and engineer, has served as the country’s de-facto leader.

Most of the intelligent, reasoning people I have heard state that we need to get off planet as soon as we can.
