Russian Billionaire Declares Himself Leader Of New ‘Space Nation’ Asgardia, We’ll See How Well This Works Out For Him (Video)

We’re pretty sure they’ve written plenty of dystopian novels and movies about stuff like this…Honestly, come on people haven’t you seen WALL-E!?

So Russian rocket scientist, Igor Ashurbeyli decided he wants to self-fund a colony on the moon called Asgardia.

Yeah, real original bud. Nobody’s seen Thor, they’ll never know.

Anyways, Ashurbeyli also funded an event to present the official national anthem and video from a Russian cosmonaut in support of Asgardia.

There is just something so creepy about all of this and we’re pretty sure it’s got almost everything to do with the chorus of children singing about a not-yet-existent space nation.

Apparently Asgardia will have all the comforts of home and over 200,000 have already signed up on the “nation’s” website.

Honestly it’s all just really crazy but at this point anything is possible and we should probably just stop talking because this Dr. Ashurbeyli could potentially be king of the universe and we want to live so….find the video of this spectacle over at ABC.net
