Celebrate Artemis II with a cosmic creation that’s truly out of this world: the Artemis II White Hot Chocolate.
The Artemis Il White Hot Chocolate is maple-y white chocolate with a gentle savoury cheesecake vibe, fuelled by real gouda, finished with warm spice and a cloud of maple cream. Topped with gold star sprinkles, a chocolate SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, and a mini shortbread moon. It's going to be gouda! Dip the moon, launch the rocket, and take a sip of this Canadian moonshot moment.
The Exciting Science Behind Artemis II:
- Artemis II will be NASA’s first crewed mission of the Artemis program, sending astronauts farther from Earth than humans have gone in over 50 years.
- The mission will test the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) with humans on board before future lunar landings.
- Astronauts will orbit the Moon and travel roughly 740,000 km round-trip, pushing deep-space systems to their limits.
- Orion will rely on advanced life-support, navigation, and radiation-shielding technologies designed for long-duration space travel.
- The mission will validate heat-shield performance during re-entry at speeds of nearly 40,000 km/h, the fastest return ever for a human spacecraft.
- Artemis II will test communications systems that allow astronauts to stay connected with Earth from nearly half a million kilometres away.
- The mission’s purpose is to create a durable lunar presence and pave the way for human exploration of Mars*.
