      Oh wow. I’ve done some work on the Andoya range. Their space group is great to work with. I’m sure they’ve got things in hand. Sometimes things go wrong though and that’s why there are safety systems and rigorous safety planning.

      Oh, Andøya! The only spaceport where you don’t need to cool down your cryogenic fuel.

      Now seriously, Andøya is a very beautiful spaceport that, due to its latitude of 69°N (within the Arctic Circle) is excellent for missions that require a polar or Sun-synchronous orbit. Specially because, around the Summer Solstice, the “midnight Sun” allows operators (and solar panels) to work continuously for weeks. It is just that, during the winter months, that place is so cold and dark, that one *really* needs to have a lot of “Norwegian happiness” to work over there.
