Overview
- During a live feed from Orion, a clearly labeled Nutella jar floated across the cabin near the mission’s distance record moment before a crew member retrieved it.
- NASA said the scene was unplanned and not paid promotion, noting that astronaut menus are selected without brand partnerships and listed only generic items such as chocolate cream before launch.
- Ferrero reposted the clip on Nutella’s social channels with playful captions and music, turning the unscripted appearance into a marketing moment.
- Advertising experts estimated a media‑equivalent value in the hundreds of millions based on global reach, stressing that the figure reflects exposure rather than money paid.
- The four‑person Artemis II crew has already set a new human distance record from Earth and is now on course for a planned Pacific splashdown.
