Bakery 'Koch's up' kolache to honor moon-bound Artemis astronaut

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 II 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).
