SpaceX accepts Dogecoin as payment for lunar mission next year
A newly announced SpaceX flight to the moon is quite literally a joke -- or at least it started that way.
Elon Musk's rocket company plans to launch the DOGE-1 Mission to the Moon next year and the entire voyage is being paid for using the cryptocurrency Dogecoin, which began as a prank in 2013.
Dogecoin is essentially a Bitcoin clone merged with the old "doge" meme featuring fluffy shiba inu dogs. In its early days, there was a Dogecoin-sponsored NASCAR racer and, less than a decade later we will apparently send a Dogecoin spacecraft to the moon.
The mission will be funded by Geometric Energy, which announced the mission Sunday but didn't reveal the projected cost.

Does that mean a few Russian cyber criminals will be involved?

Last night just put all the money I borrowed from V. Putin into #Doge on @elonmusk's recommendation! I have a payment due on Wednesday. HELP ME OUT, ELON!
