I could count on one thing as I sat down for a multiple-course meal based on something that looked very much like salmon: I would not have to worry about any bones. The plant-based theme ingredient came from a Toronto startup called New School Foods that has been developing a way to construct a salmon substitute with not just the taste but also the texture of the real thing.

New School treated a table's worth of journalists to a tasting dinner in Toronto in late June—subject to a no-food-photos rule for attendees but with no restrictions on taking notes. That comped meal came hours after CEO Chris Bryson gave his sales pitch for the company during a panel at the Collision conference there, in which he said that New School's goal was to see its products "enthusiastically adopted by non-vegans."

In a statement, the organization reported that the lander "ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon." It would've been the country's first Moon landing since 1976.

Russia was pushing to beat India's Chandrayaan-3 mission to land on the Moon. That spacecraft also...
