Not the first space-themed doughnut at Krispy Kreme

According to the news release, this isn't the first time the company launched a new doughnut to celebrate a space-related event.

The company said it "eclipsed" its Original Glazed doughnut in chocolate glaze for the first time ever for the last total solar eclipse the U.S. experienced in 2017.

The company also served fresh Original Glazed doughnuts at the launch viewing site of NASA's Apollo 11 mission to the moon in 1969, according to the news release, and created the limited time Mars Doughnut to celebrate NASA's Perseverance Rover landing on the planet in 2021.

In 2022, Krispy Kreme celebrated NASA's Artemis I flight around the moon by creating the Artemis Moon Doughnut and acknowledged astronomers releasing the first-ever image of a supermassive black hole that resembled an Original Glazed Doughnut by giving the doughnut away for free, according to the company.
