Mission To Moon: SpaceX Accepts Cryptocurrency Dogecoin For Satellite Launch
SpaceX will launch the DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon in the first quarter of next year, with Elon Musk's commercial rocket company accepting the meme-inspired cryptocurrency dogecoin as payment. Geometric Energy Corporation announced the dogecoin-funded mission on Sunday, with the statement not disclosing the mission's financial value. We're excited to launch DOGE-1 to the Moon!, SpaceX Vice President of Commercial Sales Tom Ochinero was quoted as saying in the statement released by Geometric Energy. This mission will demonstrate the application of cryptocurrency beyond Earthorbit and set the foundation for interplanetary commerce. Musk said on Twitter in April that SpaceX was going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon. Dogecoin lost more than a third of its price on Sunday, after Musk called it a 'hustle' during his guest-host spot on the Saturday Night Live comedy sketch TV show.
