New statements came from the official X account managed by Dogecoin (DOGE) developers about the space mission that aims to send a cryptocurrency wallet containing physical DOGE to the Moon.
According to the statement made by the DOGE team, if no setbacks occur, the rocket containing physical DOGE will be launched on December 23, 2023.
In the statement, it was reported that the Moon mission will be carried out by Astrobotic, a private space company. The name of the rocket to be sent was determined as Vulcan Centaur Rocket. However, it should be noted that this Moon mission is not a launch specifically for DOGE. The wallet containing Dogecoin will be taken within the scope of the project, which is a small part of the mission and aims to have some people take symbolic items to the Moon as souvenirs.
The project in question was funded by the DOGE community in 2015. The aim of the project was to turn DOGE's motto, 'To the Moon', into reality.
In addition, Elon Musk also has a different project about DOGE and space. In 2021, Elon Musk announced that SpaceX would launch a Doge-1 satellite to the moon, funded entirely by Dogecoin.
