Astro-nauty (But Nice...?)

The gifts which NASA's giftshop vends...? 
One calls 'em astro-bought.
When war ensues o'er who's to get 'em...? 
Those are astro-fought
Were one to search out further gifts, 
one'd call those astro-sought.
Whene'er an airborne gift one catches, 
call it astro-caught.
The range of gifts one lectures on...? 
One call those astro-taught.
The tightest gifts one brings to class...? 
The same, spelt astro-taut.
If made to make the gift oneself, 
one calls it astro-wrought.
And when a gift just won't add up,
one calls it astro-naught.
