First Lady of NFTs: Melania Trump’s Moonwalk on NASA Guidelines
Well, folks, it seems that the former First Lady, Melania Trump, has decided to take a giant leap for mankind, or at least for her bank account, by launching her own NFT platform. And what better way to kick things off than with a digital artwork commemorating the Apollo 11 mission? Because nothing says “I respect the sanctity of historical events” like turning them into a blockchain-based collectible, right?
One Small Step for Melania, One Giant Leap for NFT-kind
The NFT in question features an image of the Apollo 11 mission’s insignia, which, according to the Trumps, is as American as apple pie and tax evasion. But here’s the kicker: NASA’s media usage guidelines clearly state that their insignia cannot be used for commercial purposes. Oops! Looks like someone didn’t do their homework.
“NASA does not endorse or sponsor any commercial product, service, or activity. The use of the NASA name, initials, the NASA Seal, or the NASA Insignia for any purpose is prohibited by law.”
Space Law: It’s Not Rocket Science
Now, I’m no rocket scientist, but it seems pretty clear to me that selling a digital artwork featuring NASA’s insignia might just fall under the category of a “commercial activity.” But hey, what do I know? I’m just a humble news anchor with a basic understanding of copyright law.
From White House to Blockchain: A Natural Progression?
It’s not every day you see a former First Lady pivot from politics to peddling NFTs. But then again, Melania Trump isn’t your average former First Lady. After all, who needs to champion literacy or fight childhood obesity when you can make a quick buck on the blockchain?
And Now, A Word From Our Sponsors
Before we wrap up, let’s take a moment to thank our sponsors: Common Sense and Respect for Intellectual Property. Without them, we wouldn’t have this hilarious story to report on. So here’s to you, Melania. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
“She’s selling NFTs, breaking rules with glee,
Melania T, you’re a sight to see.
NASA’s guidelines, you did flout,
Now it’s time for the law to come out.
You thought you’d take a moonwalk on the sly,
But you can’t fool us, no matter how you try.
So here’s a tip, from me to you,
Next time, read the fine print, too.”
