Elon Musk is just pure “class” lol 😀 … the self-proclaimed father of Dogecoin, aptly named the Dogefather, said that SpaceX will accept Dogecoin to fund its next rocket launch (rocket emoji).
Taken from Engadget … Elon Musk is following up his Saturday Night Live stint with another, more practical pitch for Dogecoin. Canadian engineering firm Geometric Energy Corporation has struck a deal with SpaceX to launch its DOGE-1 cubesat to the Moon in the first quarter of 2022. As the name implies, it’s funded entirely by Dogecoin — the first commercial lunar payload paid for with the cryptocurrency, Geometric Energy said.
The mission will launch aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. The 88-pound cubesat will collect “lunar-spatial intelligence” through a combination of cameras and sensors, according to the company. And yes, SpaceX is fully aware of the significance of the launch. Commercial sales VP Tom Ochinero said the mission would demonstrate the viability of crypto beyond Earth and establish a “foundation for interplanetary commerce.”
