“We’re excited to launch DOGE-1 on the Moon!” Said Tom Ochinero, vice president of commercial sales at SpaceX. “The mission will demonstrate the applicability of cryptocurrencies beyond Earth orbit and lay the groundwork for interplanetary trade.”
The announcement came after billionaire Elon Musk participated in the American satirical show SNL (Saturday Night Live) in which the owner of Tesla and SpaceX praised Dogecoin, the virtual currency created in jest and to which he contributed by posting on Twitter.
A big fan of cryptocurrencies, Elon Musk described Dogecoin as an “unstoppable financial vehicle that will conquer the world,” before adding, “Forward to the Moon!”
