There's a galaxy of products commemorating Apollo 11's 50th anniversary, from coins to cushions, tumblers to tote-bags. But for those who really want to wear their astro-hearts on their sleeve (or wrist), the Trappist-1 NASA edition might just send them over the moon.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, Omega is issuing a new version of the gold Speedmaster watches that were presented by the company to Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins in 1969.

Pledging to hark back to more gear-headed times, Apollo's new 2.3 million-Euro hypercar blends old-school, naturally aspirated, screaming V12 engine technology with some of the wildest and wackiest design we've seen. Meet the Intensa Emozione.

​As the first rocket to put people on the moon, NASA's Saturn V occupies a special place in the history of space exploration. And now it can occupy a special place in your Lego collection, too, with the company today launching an Apollo Saturn V replica Lego kit.

From practical new hatchbacks to ground-hugging hypercars with tight links to the world of Formula 1, 2016 has had its share of exciting new automotive announcements. In terms of pure speed, these 10 production cars sit at the top of this year's class.
