Naming NotesAsgarida after the potential future space nation; https://asgardia.spac. Which one day I'd like to be a citizen of if it comes to fruition. Also to me the general phage space looks like a space ship, making the name even more appropriate. Asgardia was derived from the City of Asgard from Norse mythology it was a city in the skies, the country of the Gods. It is the realisation of man's eternal dream to leave his cradle on Earth and expand into the Universe.
