At the time, it was expected that the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="launch" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/launch.html">launch</a> would take place at the Kennedy Space Center in the summer of 2023.</p>
 <p>A significant tribute to Satoshi’s protocol accompanied the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="physical" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/physical.html">physical</a> Bitcoin as part of the lunar mission. A metal plate showcasing the raw hex data of Genesis Block in the Bitcoin blockchain was also expected to be sent to the Moon.
