First 'Space Nation' plans to illegally store data off-Earth
Researchers planning to float the first-ever country in space dubbed "Asgardia", are looking to launch a data storage satellite that will orbit beyond Earth-based laws. To test the concept, a CubeSat carrying 512 GB data would be launched to the International Space Station in September. Asgardia aims to prevent "Earth's conflicts being transferred into space", Asgardia's billionaire Founder said.
