ORIGIN STORY

A 12-YEAR-OLD WROTE THIS

Before rockets, before cars, before the bird app — there was a kid in Pretoria with a Commodore VIC-20 and a space-shooter idea. He called it Blastar. A magazine paid him $500 for the source. That's the real story. Everything after that is history.

  1. 1984

    Blastar is written on a home computer by a 12-year-old E.R. Musk. Mission brief: destroy an alien space freighter carrying deadly Hydrogen Bombs and Status Beam Machines.

  2. 1984

    The listing is sold to PC and Office Technology magazine for $500 and printed for readers to type in by hand. First revenue. First product.

  3. 2015

    The code resurfaces in a biography and gets ported to the browser. The internet discovers the founder's first-ever shipped software is a space shooter.

  4. 2026

    $BLASTAR launches. The first game becomes the first ticker. It's paired with the rocket company and the car company. Full circle.

STOCK PAIRING

PAIRED WITH SPACEX AND TESLA

In 2018 a Falcon Heavy launched a Tesla Roadster into solar orbit. The rocket company and the car company have been paired since before this was a ticker. $BLASTAR is the game that came before both of them.

SPACEX
The rocket company. Launched the car.
$BLASTAR
The first game. The first ticker. 1984.
TESLA
The car company. Currently in orbit.

Pairing is spiritual, narrative, and extremely on-chain. $BLASTAR is a meme coin. It is not a security, share, or claim on SpaceX, Tesla, or anyone else. Not affiliated with SpaceX, Tesla, Elon Musk, or any 12-year-old. The bombs are hydrogen. The status beams are still unexplained.
