The world's first cookie baked in space, which reached Earth in 2020, still retains its freshness nearly four and a half years later. This culinary achievement resulted from a collaboration between Nanoracks, Hilton, and Zero-G Kitchen to create an oven suitable for microgravity environments. After multiple attempts, astronauts finally accomplished the ideal cookie texture aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The cookie debuted at the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Centre in Virginia on May 8.
