Next month, Pittsburgh-based space robotics company Astrobotic is planning to send a physical DOGE token to the moon. Literally.
Astrobotic's Peregrine lunar lander will carry a physical dogecoin token to the moon next month.
The token is part of a DHL Moonbox that will also carry a physical bitcoin to the lunar surface.
The mission will be launched by a ULA rocket on December 23.
A physical dogecoin token is set to travel to the moon aboard Astrobotic's Peregrine Mission One lunar lander.

The dogecoin token will be part of a DHL Moonbox, which is a box of mementos that will also include a physical bitcoin.
The mission will mark the first commercial lunar landing in history and will carry payloads from governments, companies, universities, and NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative.
The dogecoin community confirmed the update on Thursday through a post on X.

Astrobotic is planning to send a physical DOGE token to the moon on Peregrine Mission One, which is due to take off on December 23.
"Astrobotic is truly opening the door to the next phase of space science, exploration, and commerce on the Moon," an informational packet published by the company said.
The news of the dogecoin token traveling to the moon initially sent the memecoin surging as much as 12%. However, the hype has more or less fizzled out — dogecoin is currently trading at $0.08, up 4.51% for the day.
The moon has attracted other dogecoin-related endeavors as well. In 2021, Elon Musk announced that SpaceX was going to launch a Doge-1 satellite to the moon, which would be fully funded by dogecoins.
