Peregrine Update: Dogecoin Is LITERALLY Headin' to the Moon!

A gold-plated coin representing the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin will fly aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine lander to the Moon's surface later this year.

A few hours ago, Astrobotic tweeted the photo above showing a gold-plated coin that represents the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin. It turns out that someone submitted this item six years ago to fly aboard the Peregrine lunar lander as part of Astrobotic's Moonbox program...which, in partnership with the global shipping company DHL, allows the general public to fly time capsules aboard Astrobotic's spacecraft to the Moon's surface (for a considerable price). The online posting of this image couldn't come at a better time! Dogecoin's value is steadily going up on the market as investors who purchased this altcoin are hoping that the Shiba Inu-inspired crypto jumps to $1 a coin after Doge's biggest endorser, SpaceX founder Elon Musk, hosts tomorrow's episode of Saturday Night Live.


Going back to the Peregrine lunar lander, I spent some considerable cash to fly aboard the spacecraft courtesy of various time capsules that were purchased through Moonbox. Not just personal photos, videos, artwork and my name placed on an engraved chip, but my DNA has been included as well! I'll speak more about this after Peregrine finally launches and hopefully touches down safely on the Moon's surface later this year.

Dogecoin to the Moon!
