The race to the Moon. THE space missions come one after the other for cryptocurrencies, and they target all Moon. After Astrobotic’s Peregrine-1 mission who takes Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) on the Earth’s natural satellite, this is the mission “Doge-1”via SpaceX, which is announced next January.
A satellite entirely funded by the Dogecoin community
THE Dogecoin is the emblematic, if not founding, cryptocurrency of memecoins. Cryptos which base (at least initially) their project on a nice logo and or even. If the DOGE blockchain network first appeared as a simple crypto-joke parodying Bitcoin, he knew attract and retain the loyalty of a community around its logo with the smiling Shiba Inu dog.
It is this same community which achieved a small feat, by financing the launch of a DOGE-1 satellite entirely in cryptocurrencies. In DOGE, as it happens ! And indeed, we now have a launch date for this mission which will be included in a Falcon 9 rocket from SpaceXthe aerospace company ofElon Musk.
As CoinDesk reports in particular, DOGE-1 has received regulatory approval from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and is only waiting for a final license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to finalize its mission.
Doge-1 heading to the Moon before mid-January 2024?
The DOGE-1 satellite is intended to orbit around the Moon. It was developed by the space technology company Geometric Energy Corporation. It includes a thumbnail screen which will display advertisements (images/logos), which will be sent to Earth.
If the program was first announced in May 2021by Elon Musk himself in particular, it has been several times postponed. However, this time, this space mission signed by Dogecoin seems well on its way to take off from Cape Canaveral in a little less than a month and a half, on Friday January 12, 2024.
The DOGE-1 mission approximate so more and more surely of his departure towards the Moon. It will be noted on the other hand that, if Elon Musk talked a lot about Dogecoin in 2021 and 2022 (to the point of offering DOGE on the store goodies of You’re here), the eccentric billionaire is more discreet on the subject lately. Not the slightest new tweet on the space mission of his favorite crypto-doggie. No doubt he is too busy preparing the delivery of his famous Cybertruck.
