Elon MUSK has announced that Starship is ready for launch. Meanwhile, the price of DOGE began to rise, adding 4.63%. Musk is teasing the Dogecoin community with the launch of Starship today, April 20th. A few hours ago, Musk tweeted that all systems were ready to launch. Dogecoin co-founder Billy MARKUS reacted positively to Musk's tweet.

SpaceX previously released information that its team is working to launch on Thursday, April 20, for the first flight test of a "fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket." The launch was scheduled for early this week. However, Musk announced technical problems, so the launch was delayed, with April 20 as a possible date. This caught the attention of the DOGE community, who jokingly tweeted that the delay was for memes.

Another Doge-related SpaceX launch was expected earlier this year, the Doge-1 lunar mission. In 2021 Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC) paid SpaceX in DOGE to launch a satellite into lunar orbit. In 2021, Musk tweeted that SpaceX was going to put a Dogecoin coin on the Moon. Since this tweet was posted on April 1, everyone thought it was an April Fool's joke. Later, the head of SpaceX shared the details on his Twitter.
