This is amazing:
RevUp forked over the seed money to snag the Doge-themed competition a spot on Google's forthcoming moon lander. In the Lunar Iditarod, participants would first design and build micro-rovers the size of smartphones, dubbed DogeSleds, that would race against each other on Earth, in five different stages. Competitors must pay in Dogecoins to enter each stage, naturally. The first stage costs 2,250,000 Dogecoin to enter (about $1,050 at time of writing), and each subsequent stage will go up in Dogecoin price.
The top three DogeSleds the winners of the fifth and final stage, and those selected by the seven judgeswill then be sent to the moon on the Google Lunar XPRIZE team's lunar lander. There, the three DogeSleds will then race against each other on a nine meter course on the lunar surface...
What a great time to be alive.
