Krispy Kreme is debuting a limited edition doughnut for the scheduled landing this Thursday on Mars of NASA’s Perseverance rover. This is the space agency’s first Mars rover since Curiosity in 2012.

The limited edition doughnut, which is red like Mars, will only be available on Thursday. It is a caramel-dipped and chocolate cream-filled doughnut topped with a swirl that resembles Mars, sprinkled with chocolate cookie crumbs for Mars dust.
If you submitted your name during NASA‘s “Send Your Name to Mars” campaign, which put almost 11 million names on the Perseverance rover before it blasted off, you can bring your “boarding pass” to Krispy Kreme and get the Mars Doughnut for free.
