The partnership between BitMEX and Astrobotic to send bitcoin to the moon may not succeed due to a problem with the craft's propulsion system. The Peregrine 1 lander, which was supposed to carry the first-ever bitcoin to the moon, is reportedly experiencing a fuel leak and cannot draw enough power from the sun to charge its batteries. BitMEX has been running a trading competition to capitalize on the mission's publicity, but the success of the mission is uncertain. The lander is also carrying experiments for the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the cremated remains of several individuals, including Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.
