What was claimed

Bitcoin is actually going to the moon (unlike NASA)

Our verdict

Inaccurate

NASA successfully launched Artemis II in April 2026 with a crewed mission to the moon, and has multiple additional moon missions planned for 2026-2028. NASA is actively going to the moon. The phrase is established crypto slang and is explicitly described as metaphorical, not literal. (Only 2 of 3 AI systems responded.)
