Elon Musk’s space exploration firm SpaceX says it will launch a mission to the moon that will be paid for using Dogecoin (DOGE).
埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 的太空探索公司 SpaceX 表示,将发射一项登月任务,费用将使用狗狗币 (DOGE) 支付。
In a tweet, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO say that a satellite dubbed DOGE-1 will be sent to the moon in 2022.
SpaceX 和 Tesla 首席执行官在一条推文中表示,一颗名为 DOGE-1 的卫星将于 2022 年被发送到月球。
“SpaceX launching satellite Doge-1 to the moon next year
“SpaceX 明年将向月球发射卫星 Doge-1
– Mission paid for in Doge
– 任务以总督支付
– 1st crypto in space
– 第一个太空加密货币
– 1st meme in space
– 太空中的第一个模因
To the mooooonnn!!”
到mooooonnn!!”
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.
此次任务是与加拿大公司 Geometric Energy Corporation 联合执行的,将利用 SpaceX 的 Falcon 9 火箭搭载一颗重 40 公斤的立方体卫星。
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.”
根据 Geometric Energy Corporation 的说法,DOGE-1 任务的目的是利用“机载传感器和摄像头以及集成通信和计算系统”来“获取月球空间情报”。
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.
这家加拿大公司补充说,选择狗狗币作为登月任务的记账单位是因为它作为加密货币的优势。
“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.”
“DOGE 已被证明是一种快速、可靠且加密安全的数字货币,可以在传统银行无法运行的情况下运行,并且足够复杂,可以为商业月球任务提供全额资金。”
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.
截至撰写本文时,狗狗币的交易价格为 0.48 美元,上周末触及 0.73 美元左右的历史新高。周末集会发生在马斯克出现在《周六夜现场》(SNL) 之前。然而,马斯克出现后,DOGE 暴跌至 0.43 美元。
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.”
这位亿万富翁科技企业家有着倡导模因加密资产的历史。去年 12 月,马斯克仅通过一条推文“一个词:狗狗”就让狗狗币上涨了 20%。
