Some of NASA Astronaut Buzz Aldrin\u2019s Apollo 11 legacy \u2014 including materials and equipment from his trailblazing journey to and steps on the moon \u2014 is going on auction on Tuesday, July 26, according to a press release from Sotheby\u2019s, the legacy auction house.<\/p>\n<p>To commemorate their upcoming Geek Week event, Sotheby\u2019s is holding an auction called \u201cBuzz Aldrin: American Icon\u201d. With NFT Expoverse\u2019s planned space-related giveaways, in addition to a host of space-themed NFT projects dropping earlier this month, space fans in the NFT community have plenty to get excited about.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-nfts-can-help-preserve-nasa-s-apollo-11\">NFTs can help preserve NASA\u2019s Apollo 11<\/h2>\n<p>Headlining the American Icon auction is the flight jacket Aldrin wore during the Apollo 11 mission, along with the infamous broken circuit breaker from the mission that made the mission an even more tense affair. These pieces \u2014 along with other memorabilia from Aldrin\u2019s storied career included in the auction \u2014 are all expected to fetch prices well into the millions.<\/p>\n<p>But what does this all have to do with NFTs? The broken circuit breaker from Apollo 11, in addition to the felt tip pen Aldrin used to write on the spaceship, are both set to come with an NFT. These NFTs were minted by MIRA as a MIRAImage onto the Ethereum blockchain, providing these otherwise nondescript items with a surefire proof of authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>MIRA employs \u201csophisticated imaging technology and deep learning algorithms,\u201d according to its website, and it can link digital signatures to physical objects by scanning them at the microscopic level. The minting firm also claims that once a physical object is minted as an NFT, it\u2019ll remain on the blockchain forever \u2014 regardless of the object\u2019s physical condition. Thanks to this, collectors picking up these otherwise hard-to-authenticate items are free to purchase or resell them with relative ease.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A legendary NFT auction went to the moon more than 60 years ago, in a manner of speaking.
