Smithsonian Museum displays Doubletree by Hilton's baked-in-space chocolate chip cookie

DoubleTree by Hilton’s signature chocolate chip cookie became the first-ever food baked in space aboard the International Space Station in 2019. It earned a place in space history in partnership with Zero G Kitchen and Voyager Space. Now, the historic baked treat has returned to Earth and the cookie has been donated to the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia.

Here's a deeper dive into the display. The idea for the cookie in space was sparked in 2018, Shawn McAteer, brand leader at DoubleTree by Hilton, based in McLean, Virginia, told FOX Business.

And, we have silica inside to keep the environment dry, as well as a small oxygen sensor in case the case seal fails," she said. "We are thrilled to display DoubleTree by Hilton’s chocolate chip cookie as the first-ever food baked in space by astronauts." The treat will be on display now through 2025 at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center, at 14390 Air and Space Museum Parkway, Chantilly, in Fairfax County, Virginia. Entrance is free for all guests.
