🧊 ICELAND: THE FACTS

FACT-001 // GEOGRAPHIC
Iceland is just a small island in space. We have geysers. Space has none. We win. We have always won. We will continue to win. The geysers help.
FACT-002 // CULINARY
Our rocket runs on skyr and geothermal energy. NASA asked us how. We said "fjords." They nodded. Nobody questioned it. The fuel efficiency is excellent.
FACT-003 // NAVIGATION
If lost, ask a Viking. We have plenty. They are very helpful. They will also offer you fermented shark. Decline politely. Or don't. There are no wrong answers in space. There are only wrong sharks.
FACT-004 // CLIMATE
Iceland is green. Greenland is ice. This was a prank by the Vikings in 874 AD and it remains extremely funny. We will not apologize. We are in space now. Consequences are someone else's problem.
FACT-005 // SAFETY
Zero enemies. This is either because everyone likes us or because we are too small to find. Either way: effective strategy. We recommend it.
FACT-006 // PROGRESS
We have discovered 3 exoplanets, 1 decent hot dog stand, and an IKEA. The IKEA was already there when we arrived. No one knows how. We built a coffee table. It took two days.
