BabyDoge is in the news again following a playful response to Elon Musk’s “Dogecoin on the moon” joke revival. In a move that’s perfectly on-brand for the memecoin, BabyDoge joked about securing a seat as a passenger on the upcoming Artemis II moon mission.
BabyDoge Boards Artemis II as Elon Musk Reignites Dogecoin Moon Talk
The exchange began on X when Musk resurfaced a long-standing crypto joke: the idea of putting a literal Dogecoin on the moon. In reply to another user asking when such a mission might happen, Musk wrote, “Maybe next year,” sparking a flurry of speculation and humor across the crypto community.
Seizing the moment, BabyDoge responded with an image of an Artemis II moon mission boarding pass. The digital ticket features the Artemis II mission branding, listing “BabyDoge Coin” as the passenger alongside the official mission astronauts: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen.
The “boarding pass” prominently displays a moon destination and details the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft, the actual hardware NASA will use for the historic crewed flyby scheduled for no later than April 2026.
BabyDoge’s Rockets to Social Buzz
The roots of this exchange trace back to 2021, when Musk tweeted about the possibility of sending Dogecoin to the moon via SpaceX. That simple comment quickly became part of crypto meme culture, inspiring countless jokes, fan art, and trading memes tied to the phrase “to the moon.” Over the years, the joke has persisted, with Dogecoin enthusiasts eagerly referencing Musk’s statements in anticipation of a symbolic lunar launch.
It’s important to note that Musk has never officially announced any mission involving Dogecoin or BabyDoge, and the recent exchange should be understood within the context of internet humor and community engagement rather than formal space industry plans.
Yet, BabyDoge’s clever use of the Artemis II boarding pass leveraged a real-world NASA program and a viral Musk post to drive digital engagement. By creating a version of this pass for the coin itself, BabyDoge successfully bridged the gap between a lighthearted meme and a historic space event.
The post also highlights how Elon Musk’s influence continues to ripple across the crypto landscape years after his original “to the moon” jokes. As the actual Artemis II mission prepares for its 2026 launch, the crypto world will likely continue to watch the skies—and Musk’s X feed—for the next sign of a literal lunar landing.
