“I turned my first photo from space into an NFT and named it Rendezvous. This could be the first NFT built in space, ”he wrote.
The photo was taken aboard the Russian spacecraft Soyuz MS-20 as it docked with the International Space Station (ISS). Photo taken with iPhone 12 Pro Max. It shows the ISS flying over the islands of the Caribbean Sea. Maezawa has created other NFTs with video filmed inside the Soyuz spacecraft.
