 <p>In addition, the American company Astrobotic, which develops space robotics for lunar <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="mission" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/mission.html">mission</a>s, announced that it will send a wallet with the Dogecoin (DOGE) meme cryptocurrency to the surface of the Earth’s satellite on Dec. 23, using the Vulcan Centaur Rocket ULA.</p>
 <p>A wallet with the DOGE will be delivered to the Moon under the Moonbox program of the German transport company DHL, which, for a fee, allows customers to send small items into space.</p>
 <p>All signals that Doge, the loveable shiba inu dog at the heart of crypto’s most profitable meme coins, has already established a laudable space legacy.</p>
