<p>Think of an IoT enabled ship that talks, techno-shamanic interfaces to controllable LED lighting and ambient sounds, an onboard Makerspace and of course an always on energy efficient Hot tub is essential for the winter months.
<p>In the conventional paradigm, getting a skilled team together to work on ideas is expensive and time consuming. By providing a ship which is able to sustain teams at low cost, teams can reach prototype stage very quickly and efficiently. See what type of <ahref="services.html">services</a> we have to offer.</p>

<h3>A global fleet</h3>

<p>We're proto-typing our first ship here in Wales but we see the potential of creating a global network of locations. Teams needn't be confined to using a single ship. Free from being stuck in an office in a polluted city, crews can be based wherever they want. Our goal is to find locations around the world where anyone with an old building in need of rennovation can join our fleet and our network.</p>

<p>For our launch event we used Eventbrite and Facebook. We are not big fans of Facebook but we did it anyway... For the next event we will be launching our own <strong><ahref="https://astralship-9217c.firebaseapp.com/">membership platform</a>.</strong> We invite you to look at the <ahref="https://github.com/astralship/membership-platform">source code</a> and help us with the development.</p>

<p>As everything we do it's a <strong>work in progress</strong>, <strong>proof of concept</strong>, <strong>working prototype</strong> - expect changes and some things may not be full functional. Nevertheless - we are hoping that you'll like it and with your feedback and contribution we'll make it much better.</p>

<p>The initial event was a success - we gathered initial supporters - we've found commited people - we managed to get done many things on budget and on schedule. We intend to run regular events as a way of earning social capital and gathering momentum. Having a clear deadline and knowing that people are counting on us - it enforces motivational pressure and we are ready for it...</p>
<p>Because software development takes longer than expected - <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstadter's_law">Hofstadter's_law</a> - that is why resolving to a temporary email signup... Once we are done with development you'll be very first to get onboard.</p>

<p>We know it is not ideal - we have limited resources and we need to prioritise ruthlessly - see also <ahref="jobs.html">jobs</a> to see what type of people we are recruiting. If you have any questions - see <ahref="faq.html">FAQ</a> or <ahref="contact.html">contact us</a> directly... We are on the <ahref="mission.html">mission</a>, we are here to stay and your support is always greatly appreciated.</p>

<p><strong>Example:</strong> permaculture. Systems on autopilot that require minimal maintenance and provide more value than the input</p>

<p><strong>Example:</strong> taking into account full cost of solar panels. Government subsidies ended and the amount of new installations dropped by 85%. Same amount of dollars / pounds spent on solar panels installed in Syria would provide much more value.</p>

<p>Planet Earth is not doing well - global warming is taking its toll <em>(see this <ahref="https://xkcd.com/1732/">XKCD</a>)</em>. Technology itself will not lead us to sustainability, we require an intense will to develop and utilise the available technology to change our trajectory. </p>

<p>Our Planet Earth is not doing well - global warming is taking its toll and set to get <em>(<ahref="https://xkcd.com/1732/">far worse.</a>)</em>. Technology itself will not lead us to sustainability, we require an intense will to develop and utilise the available technology to change our trajectory. </p>

<p>Revolutions in human behaviour have happened in the past. Today powerful profit driven corporations funnel billions of dollars into psychology, marketing and PR, their goal is to snare us in a hypnotic spell where we continue to give up wealth and power. The spells create desires we didn't previously have, and we consume what we didn't really need, even as our longer term prospect become increasingly bleak.</p>
19
11
<p> Fundamentally we are all human beings, living for a time on our planet. The spells can be broken. We all have the same basic needs. We all want to protect ourselves and those we love. When we see the only way to really protect those we love is to protect our species and planet we will start prioritising what's really important and pull all our might into find ways to live sustainably.</p>

<h3>Systematic change</h3>

<p><strong>Example:</strong> water dispenser and single-use plastic cups is not OK. To replace them with a practical bottle - cost of materials is in the same ballpark but the difference is substantial.</p>
24

25
-
<p><strong>Example:</strong> litter bond at festivals. Fill the bag to earn £10 - it is easy, it scales, it provides income, it cleans the place.</p>

27
-
<p><strong>Example:</strong> incorporating as public benefic corporation or community interest company. Situation where company is obliged to make profit - without taking into consideration communities and environment - not cool.

<h3>Realising human potential (<ahref="flow.html">flow</a>)</h3>

<p>We know that what most of us achieve in our daily lives is far from our potential. We are building a space that is devoted to Peak performance, we will achieve it through art, though facilitation, smart environments and psychology such as enabling the <ahref="flow">flow state</a>. We're building a magical space with a creative intensity that removes limiting beliefs. We give our crews their own ship and the ability and freedom to sail to anywhere. Together we’ll to sail to a new world, a new reality. Incredible energy and creativity, channeled and grounded to create real world solutions. </p>

<h3>New models of ownership and governance</h3>

<p>No lnonger "employee mentality" but actual stake in the company. We are developing our <ahref="membership">membership</a> platform and use the best tools for the job.</p>

<h3>Collaborative culture</h3>
36
-
<p>We believe in open and collaborative culture.</p>
37
-
<p>We always strive to use best available tools and technology for each project.</p>
38
-
<p>We use Github, Slack, Trello, and Google Docs - we know that Google is controversial but we will use their products as long as they serve us. If you happen to know better, more reliable, more approachable products - or if you want to create one - we are very receptive to new technologies and ideas, we are happy to adapt and contribute. </p>

Together we’ll to sail to a new world, a new reality. Incredible energy and creativity, channeled and grounded to manifest real world solutions. </p>
<p>Astralship is about changing this model. We’ll start with one ship but want to create a global network. Talented individuals usually know what they’re worth on the commercial market, they know where they really add value. Astralship allows individuals to come and work at <ahref="flow.html">peak-performance</a> where they can add maximum value while in collaboration. For example a good software developer should comfortably be able to earn all the money they need in a year from 6 productive 2 week voyages. The rest of the time? Live how you want to live and enjoy being on this planet for the limited time you have. When we have more time on our hands and are freed up from limiting beliefs about what we should be doing, we quickly realise that the best things in life are free. </p>
