SpaceX to be paid in Dogecoin for lunar payload

SpaceX will carry a commercial payload to the moon on its Falcon 9 rocket and be paid entirely in the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.

Geometric Energy Corporation announced through PRNewswire that it will collaborate with SpaceX on the DOGE-1 Mission, which will launch a 40kg miniature satellite called a cubesat on a Falcon 9 lunar payload mission early next year.

“Having officially transacted with DOGE for a deal of this magnitude, Geometric Energy Corporation and SpaceX have solidified DOGE as a unit of account for lunar business in the space sector,” said Geometric Energy’s Chief Executive Officer Samuel Reid.
