The Dogecoin team has unveiled plans for a lunar mission set to launch on 23rd December 2023. Astrobotic, a pioneering space company, is spearheading this mission, transporting physical Dogecoin to the moon via the DHL Moonbox aboard ULA’s Vulcan Centaur Rocket.
Astrobotic, known for its prowess in space exploration, specialises in cutting-edge navigation, operation, power, testing, and computing systems for spacecraft. With an array of lunar landers and rovers, Astrobotic facilitates lunar missions for various entities, including companies, governments, universities, non-profits, and individuals.
The Dogecoin community initiated a fundraising campaign in 2015, aiming to send Dogecoin to the moon. Now, in collaboration with Astrobotic, this dream is becoming a reality. The upcoming launch of the DHL Moonbox marks a symbolic triumph, showcasing the collective power of crowdfunding to propel a cryptocurrency into uncharted territories.
Astrobotic’s involvement with Dogecoin dates back to 8th May 2021 when they unexpectedly found a Dogecoin submitted in 2015 during the integration of Moonboxes with the Peregrine lunar lander. This discovery added a unique dimension to Dogecoin’s journey in the cryptocurrency landscape, culminating in its upcoming lunar voyage.
The announcement had a notable impact on Dogecoin’s price movements, witnessing a significant 10% surge amid a market downturn. However, over the past 24 hours, DOGE experienced a 4.5% decline, standing out as the only red spot among larger-cap altcoins.
As 23rd December approaches, the Dogecoin community eagerly anticipates witnessing their beloved cryptocurrency take a literal leap to the moon, marking a historic moment in the ever-evolving realm of cryptocurrencies.
