Krispy Kreme is launching a limited time space-themed doughnut to celebrate NASA’s upcoming Artemis II mission, which will launch some time in April.
WASHINGTON — Krispy Kreme is celebrating the Artemis II planned launch with a space-themed sweet treat.
The doughnut will be available Tuesday March 31 through Thursday April 2 at participating locations across the United States.
Upon the brand’s typical original glazed doughnut sits a vanilla-flavored space blue colored icing, Oreo cookie crunch and white nonpareils sprinkles for stars, a cookies-and-creme flavored buttercream dollop in the doughnut hole and a red chevron across the full treat as a nod to the NASA logo.
“It’s familiar, nostalgic, and mission-ready,” Krispy Kreme said in a press release.
The special, limited time doughnuts can also be bundled with the “Artemis II Specialty Dozen,” which includes six Artemis II Doughnuts and six Original Glazed doughnuts.
“Big moments bring people together, and it doesn’t get much bigger than humans heading back into deep space,” said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer, in a press release. “We took our iconic Original Glazed doughnut and gave it a mission-worthy makeover so fans can celebrate Artemis II in a fun, delicious way, right alongside history.”
When will Artemis II launch?
The historic Artemis II mission is slated for a possible launch in early April.
The historic mission could blast off as early as April 1, if the latest rollouts and tests go according to plan. Specific conditions must be met for a safe launch, so the plans remain somewhat flexible. NASA said the ship could launch between April 1, April 3 through 6 or April 30.
The launch for the crewed mission to the moon was scrubbed in February and March due to technical issues with the Orion spacecraft and rocket.
A crew of astronauts will be the first people to fly to the moon since Apollo 17’s Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt closed out the triumphant lunar-landing program in 1972.
Astronauts are set to return to the moon with the Artemis III mission, but why is the U.S. attempting to return to the moon?
Reasons to return
NASA gives three main reasons for returning to the moon: scientific discovery, economic benefits and inspiration for a new generation of explorers.
But there’s an even larger reason.
The Artemis moon missions are meant to learn how to live and work on another world in preparation for human missions to Mars.
