Elon Musk’s space exploration firm SpaceX says it will launch a mission to the moon that will be paid for using Dogecoin (DOGE).
Elon Musk의 우주 탐사 회사인 SpaceX는 Dogecoin(DOGE)을 사용하여 비용을 지불할 달 탐사 임무를 시작할 것이라고 밝혔습니다.
In a tweet, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO say that a satellite dubbed DOGE-1 will be sent to the moon in 2022.
“SpaceX launching satellite Doge-1 to the moon next year
“SpaceX가 내년에 위성 Doge-1을 달에 발사합니다.
– Mission paid for in Doge
– 1st crypto in space
– 우주 최초의 암호화폐
– 1st meme in space
To the mooooonnn!!”
무오오오오오오오오오오오!!”
The mission, conducted in conjunction with Canadian firm Geometric Energy Corporation, will involve flying a cube satellite weighing 40 kilograms aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.
Per Geometric Energy Corporation, the purpose of the DOGE-1 mission will be to “obtain lunar-spatial intelligence” using “sensors and cameras on-board with integrated communications and computational systems.”
기하학적 에너지 회사(Geometric Energy Corporation)에 따르면 DOGE-1 임무의 목적은 "통합 통신 및 컴퓨터 시스템을 갖춘 센서와 카메라"를 사용하여 "달 공간 정보를 얻는 것"입니다.
The Canadian firm adds that the choice of Dogecoin as the unit of account for the lunar mission is due to its strengths as a cryptocurrency.
“DOGE has proven to be a fast, reliable, and cryptographically secure digital currency that operates when traditional banks cannot and is sophisticated enough to finance a commercial moon mission in full.”
At time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.48 after hitting a record high of around $0.73 over the weekend. The weekend rally came ahead of Musk appearing on Saturday Night Live (SNL). DOGE, however, plummeted to as low as $0.43 after Musk’s appearance.
이 글을 쓰는 시점에서 Dogecoin은 주말 동안 약 0.73달러라는 사상 최고치를 기록한 후 0.48달러에 거래되고 있습니다. 이번 주말 집회는 머스크의 새터데이 나잇 라이브(SNL) 출연을 앞두고 이뤄졌다. 그러나 DOGE는 머스크 등장 이후 0.43달러까지 급락했습니다.
The billionaire tech entrepreneur has a history of advocating for the meme crypto asset. In December, Musk sent Dogecoin on a 20% rally by simply tweeting: “One word: Doge.”
억만장자 기술 기업가는 밈 암호화 자산을 옹호한 이력이 있습니다. 12월에 머스크는 "한 단어: Doge"라는 간단한 트윗을 통해 Dogecoin을 20% 상승세로 보냈습니다.
