In this photo made available by U.S. astronaut Christina Koch via Twitter on Dec. 26, 2019, she and Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano pose for a photo with a cookie baked on the International Space Station. CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. -- The results are finally in for the first chocolate chip cookie bake-off in space.
Located near NASA's Johnson Space Center, Nanoracks designed and built the small electric test oven that was launched to the space station last November. Five frozen raw cookies were already up there. The first cookie -- in the oven for 25 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit -- ended up seriously under-baked. He more than doubled the baking time for the next two, and the results were still so-so."So this time, I do see some browning," Parmitano radioed. "I can't tell you whether it's cooked all the way or not, but it certainly doesn't look like cookie dough any more.
That's the beauty of baking in space, according to former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. He now teaches at Columbia University and is a paid spokesman for DoubleTree by Hilton. The hotel chain provided the cookie dough, the same kind used for cookies offered to hotel guests. It's offering one of the space-baked cookies to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum for display.

Nice photo op most likely taken at a studio here on the ground just like how Movies are made. There's absolutely no way to get into space absolutely no way to pass the van Allen belt.
So cool
