@jwildeboer yay.

And even if there is no other usecase as just to feed the gastric ulcer of any nationalistic assholes

@astielau @jwildeboer I am proud to be Danish and also an European. I think itโ€™s quite okay to love your nation and EU, especially in these times :-)

@astielau @jwildeboer agreed!

@astielau @jwildeboer I don't need to feed anything. I would be alright with EU design on the cover, but the present design of my passport is better than the proposal IMO, and it already mentions the European union on the cover.

@jwildeboer for one panicking moment i thought they could now apply for a pass valid in space (you know beyond the stars)

@FlyingTerra @jwildeboer I definitely would prefer having a real passport that looks like my passport cover. but getting a common passport for all Europeans is a good start ๐Ÿ™‚

Despite Musk's & Branson's egotistical naming of Starship and Virgin Galactic, we don't have even an idea of how to build a starship, except maybe the "Generation" kind.

That would be the ultimate SF "Ship in a Bottle" soap opera series. No aliens (unless they all are), no away teams, no communication (assuming the 3rd or 4th generation).

They're also on x, the everything app (formerly known as twitter), bluesky two types of linked in, threads, tik tok and Reddit. Maybe they want to be in places where people are?

@EndlessMason

that is probably it!

And I can understand that in a way - gathering people for good things all around is probably the right thing to do.

At the same time the old saying "the media is the message" also has some truth to it...

@wonshu @jwildeboer @starpass_eu
The media, in this case, is all of them.

That's where I got the idea about being where people are

Love to sign it....

Can I have my EU passport back instead of a stupid UK one please?!?

@jwildeboer @starpass_eu I would love if they were blue, and followed the coin model of a common EU side and a distinct national side.

@jwildeboer @starpass_eu why exactly is this necessary?

Sure, i'm quite fond of our European Union ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ #EU - the idea of peaceful cooperation, amongst like-minded societies.

I'm fairly confident, that WE Europeans WILL create an institution that might be called #StarFleet (in the #StarTrek kind of sense, including all the ethics), some day. Because of our guiding principles.

Those 'murricans, sure, ain't getting it done, with this kind of attitude! ๐Ÿ–– ๐Ÿ˜…
