SpaceX is literally sending DOGE to the moon. Here&8217;s what that actually means.

In cryptocurrency lingo, it's called "shilling" — the practice of endlessly talking up a certain coin with the intention of pumping its price — and Elon Musk may be doing too much of it. 

On Sunday, Musk tweeted that the Geometric Energy Corporation will be launching the DOGE-1 satellite to the moon, aboard a SpaceX rocket, next year. The mission will be paid for in DOGE, he wrote, and it will be the "1st crypto in space" and the "1st meme in space."
