Justin Sun<\/a> has enquired with SpaceX to launch Tron and BitTorrent satellites on his behalf. He added that he’s willing to pay $50 million in Dogecoin to make it happen.<\/p>\n In conjunction with Geometric Energy Corporation, SpaceX wishes to make DOGE<\/a> the “unit of account for lunar business in the space sector.” By supporting this setup, Sun is hoping to champion the Dogecoin cause.<\/p>\n “@elonmusk<\/a><\/span> I am serious. I would like to pay $50 million worth <\/span>$Doge<\/a><\/span> for this launch and you should consider my offer since <\/span>@SpaceX<\/a> <\/span>need first satellite deal transaction paid with doge from customer order.” <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Following his SNL appearance on the weekend, which coincided with a downturn in the DOGE price, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk<\/a> restated his plans to literally put Dogecoin on the moon.<\/p>\n In Q1 2022, the SpaceX Doge-1 moon mission will embark on the first-ever commercial lunar payload, all of which will be paid for in Dogecoin. Partnering with Geometric Energy, the Falcon 9 rocket will carry a 40kg CubeSat<\/a> into orbit for the purposes of research.<\/p>\n SpaceX Vice President of Commercial Sales Tom Ochinero billed the Doge-1 mission as a tester for the application of cryptocurrency off-planet, and even the beginning of space commerce. “This mission will demonstrate the application of cryptocurrency beyond Earth orbit and set the foundation for interplanetary commerce.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Keen to be a part of this campaign, Sun<\/a> said he wants SpaceX to launch Tron and BitTorrent satellites. However, at this stage, it’s not clear for what purpose he intends their use.<\/p>\n Over the years, Sun has earned himself a reputation for being a flamboyant marketer. Milestone events in cryptocurrency often involve Sun. This includes being narrowly outbid<\/a> on buying the world’s most expensive NFT, Beeple’s The First 5000 Day, as well as paying $4.6 million<\/a> for lunch with Warren Buffett.<\/p>\n Many believe Dogecoin has transcended blockchain to become a cultural movement. This would go some way in explaining its unreal price performance despite a lack of fundamentals.<\/p>\nDogecoin To The Moon, Literally<\/h2>\n
