The launch of the Peregrine lunar module with a hardware wallet will take place in November this year
American private space company Astrobotic Technology will send a hardware wallet in the form of a physical coin containing one bitcoin to the moon. The launch of the Peregrine lunar module will take place in November this year. Astrobotic Technology will buy Bitcoin on the BitMEX crypto exchange.
“Bitcoin will remain on the surface of the moon until an enterprising soul goes after it. The hardware wallet will have a public address, allowing anyone to witness the misappropriation of the coin, ” the mission’s website says .
The coin will be a registered payload on the Peregrine-1 manifest, and will remain in situ on the Moon’s surface until any enterprising soul goes to collect it. It will have a public vanity address allowing anyone interested to witness its redemption or add some Sates if you’re feeling generous.
Peregrine-1 is Astrobotic`s first commercial lunar lander due to launch in November 2021. It’s another giant leap in space travel and marks the first Western soft landing on the Moon since the Apollo missions of the 1960s and ‘70s.
The payload is occupying an official slot on the manifest. It will be the first-ever bitcoin to be on the surface of the Moon, with photographic evidence taken to prove it!
In May, it became known that the space company SpaceX will accept Dogecoin as payment for launching a 40-kilogram satellite into space as part of the DOGE-1 lunar mission of the Canadian company Geometric Energy Corporation.
