Melania Trump Breaks NASA Rules with Man on the Moon NFT
Melania Trump's latest limited edition NFT, part of the "1776" collection, celebrates the Apollo 11 mission and features NASA's image. The NFT, titled "Man on the Moon," commemorates the 54th anniversary of the iconic Apollo 11 mission and is priced at $75, available for purchase with crypto via Solana or a credit card.
However, the use of NASA's imagery for commercial purposes in the NFT has sparked controversy and disapproval from NASA itself. The space agency has stated that they do not endorse or approve of any use of their imagery for non-fungible token (NFT) purposes, emphasizing that such imagery should only be used for informational or educational purposes.
Despite NASA's stance on NFTs, Melania Trump does not seem fazed by the criticism. The decision to commercialize Neil Armstrong's iconic photo of Buzz Aldrin has drawn criticism from Twitter users, including lawyers, attorneys, and political activists, who responded with sarcasm and expressed their disapproval.
Many Twitter users criticized the move, stating that selling NFTs featuring NASA's imagery is inappropriate, and some questioned the ethics of commercializing historical and iconic images. The backlash indicates that the launch of Melania's "1776" collection has been met with mixed reactions, with this particular NFT drawing more attention than anticipated due to the use of NASA's imagery in a commercial context.
