JAKARTA – The competition for space rocket flights in sending crypto money will occur in the 21st century. Elon Musk with his SpaceX company and BitMex partnering with a commercial rocket aviation company will race to send Dogecoin (DOGE) and Bitcoin (BTC) to the Moon.

Launching Bitcoin News, on June 4, crypto trading company BitMex has announced plans to fly Bitcoin to the Moon using a Japanese space rocket, Astrobotic Technology.

The plan is at the same time an important moment for Astrobotic Technology in its maiden rocket flight. BitMex plans to mint one physical Bitcoin and land it on the Moon to rival Elon Musk's plans to fly Dogecoin to the Moon.

“We are not against Dog Money, we feel right in helping Bitcoin to get there first,” said the BitMex boss.

Whereas previously, Elon Musk had previously announced that his party would bring Dogecoin to the Moon. Musk also stated that DOGE will be the first cryptocurrency to reach lunar orbit. He announced a mission to bring DOGE to the Moon next year.

"A new space race has begun!" Musk wrote in his comments on Twitter in response to BitMex's efforts.

Musk's efforts have great support from DOGE fans. They expect the race to be won by Elon Musk with the cryptocurrency Dogecoin.

Previously, in August 2020, the blockchain technology company that underlies the Polkadot cryptocurrency, Kusama in collaboration with Robonomics had planned to develop an "interplanetary architecture" that could transmit data from Earth to Mars and vice versa. Reportedly, the development will use the Kusama Network.

In addition, CryptoSat has also announced its plans to fly a nano-satellite the size of a coffee cup into space. This information was stated in the company's whitepaper in November 2017. In 2021, they plan to realize that ambition.
