Musk Reiterates Sending a Dogecoin to the Moon Mission: The Time Has Come

BlockBeats News, November 4th, according to thestreet report, Elon Musk referenced his own tweet from April 2021 stating "SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon" by saying, "The timing is right."

In 2021, after the tweet was published, the price of DOGE surged nearly 30% in a few minutes, demonstrating Musk's enormous influence on this meme coin. Several weeks later, the SpaceX founder confirmed that the company would indeed launch the "DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon," accepting DOGE as payment.

DOGE-1 is a CubeSat mission developed by the Canadian company Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC), fully funded by Dogecoin. Its payload will be carried by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, making it the first-ever space mission funded entirely by cryptocurrency. The mission's launch has experienced multiple delays, but according to Federal Communications Commission filings, it is still scheduled to take place by the end of 2025.
