Dogecoin To The Moon Mission Is Officially Confirmed

In a historic moment for the crypto community, the official X account of Dogecoin has confirmed that a physical DOGE token will be sent to the moon. On October 24, Astrobotic communicated through their X account, “We have a launch date! Peregrine is set to journey into space aboard ULA launch’s Vulcan Rocket on Dec. 24, 2023.
