Elon Musk reiterates the DOGE moon mission: the time has come, can it save the 60% bloodbath of DOGE this year?

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has reiterated the DOGE-1 lunar mission, emphasizing that “the time has come,” as the community once again focuses on the world's first fully cryptocurrency-funded space mission. (Background: Musk moved nearly 3,700 Bitcoins within three days, preparing for a settlement or secretly laying the groundwork?) (Supplementary background: Musk announced that xAI will launch its first “AI-generated game” by the end of next year, potentially disrupting game production models?) Hours ago, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk responded on X to his 2021 slogan: “SpaceX will send a real Dogecoin to the real moon,” simply adding, “the time has come.” Although this news did not significantly boost the price of DOGE, the DOGE-1 lunar mission, originally set to be fully paid with DOGE, has once again become the focal point of the intersection between cryptocurrency and the space industry. It’s time — Elon Musk @elonmusk November 3, 2025 After a long time, Musk speaks again After Musk first released this lunar declaration in 2021, the price of DOGE soared nearly 30% within minutes, highlighting the amplifying effect of his words on market fluctuations. A few weeks later, he further confirmed that he would collaborate with Canada's Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) to launch the “DOGE-1” satellite project, settling all costs in DOGE, making it the first space mission funded by cryptocurrency. Launch schedule has been delayed multiple times, uncertainty remains high DOGE-1 was originally scheduled to launch in 2022 but was repeatedly postponed due to technical and scheduling adjustments. According to filings with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, the latest target is the end of 2025, but the public rocket launch schedule has yet to show this mission number, and the new space laboratory's timeline does not list related information, indicating that details are still to be confirmed. Nevertheless, Musk's statement that “the time has come” still makes the DOGE community feel hopeful, as this former meme coin king has recently seen attention diverted to multiple projects, with this year's price plummeting by 60%, reflecting a considerable downturn.
