Driving astronauts — then and now 🚀

In 2024, the Artemis II crew returned to Iceland for training.
At the end of their visit, they were driven to Keflavík Airport on the very same bus used during Apollo training in the 1960s.

A simple ride — connecting decades of exploration.

Do you know how Iceland celebrates New Year’s Eve? 🎆
Just before midnight, families in Reykjavík, towns, and even remote farms step outside with fireworks in hand as the sky erupts in color 🎇

Every rocket supports the Icelandic Search and Rescue teams, turning celebration into community spirit. The result is one of the most spectacular and meaningful New Year’s traditions anywhere.

There is something special about the atmosphere — the crackling sound of fireworks, the smell in the air that promises new beginnings, and the joy of people coming together.

From the capital to the smallest village, Iceland becomes one giant firework show, loud & joyful ✨🥂

The Icelandic New Year’s tradition is one that no one forgets.
