Among the member of DP, Coby Cotton is considered the underdog. As he used “to lose every battle until the Giant Sumo Battle”. But as the tables turn, the underdog Coby shocked the fans and the internet by getting the ticket to space.
Dude perfect had held a “rocket challenge” on their channel. In the challenge, Coby came out victorious and won the ticket to the Blue Origin Flight. Billionaire Jeff Bezos founded the Blue Origins Aerospace Company. The company’s main goal is to make commercial space tourism a reality.
The Ticket to the space flight was sponsored by crypto collective MoonDAO. MoonDAO claims that they focus on decentralizing access to space research and exploration.
