A NASA astronaut's assignment to fly around the moon has already given launch to a tasty treat.
Good Dough, a bakery in Galveston, Texas, has created the "Koch it to the Moon" kolache inspired by Artemis 2 mission specialist Christina Koch (pronounced "Cook"). The chocolate-flavored pastry is being offered as a special for the month of August while Koch continues her training to become the first woman to fly to the moon (her launch is targeted for as soon as November of next year).
"Christina has been a regular customer of ours, so we decided to do something to honor her," Chef Mary Bass, the owner of Good Dough, said in an interview with collectSPACE.com. "We're down here in Galveston; she lives here on the island and she comes in regularly and supports us. We just thought it would be kind of cool."
