A lunar mission paid for entirely in Dogecoin has already slipped four years. We used to name our lunar missions after gods, now it's dogs! Eddie despairs.

๐ŸŽค Whisper Transcript (en) โฑ 68s

"Okay, today on the inside track, when will Doge won the Lunar Cube Sat paid for entirely in Dogecoin? Launched by end of 2027 is sitting right at 53 cents, basically a coin flip 18 months out the 2026 version, just 12 cents, highly doubtful. The very first commercial mission to the moon funded by a joke currency with a dog on it. We used to name our lunar launches after the gods, now we're naming them after memes. Eddie, this thing was first promised for 2022. That's already four years of slippage, no confirmed SpaceX manifest slot and Musk himself shrugged out maybe next year, 12 cents to stay on track is generous. And yet a coin flip on 2027, that's the part that floors me after all that delay. The market still thinks half a chance the meme reaches the moon. 18 months is a long runway for a Cube Sat needing one rideshare slot. The line's right. The Sheba reaches orbit eventually just not on the schedule the dog lovers want. Doggy needs a new pair of moon boots."
