Promin Aerospace, a rocketry startup from Ukraine with backing from Google and others, has teamed up with the Meta History Museum to launch a collection of artworks about the war with Russia in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) into space. The effort is aimed at commemorating the current events in Ukraine, preserving the truth, and collecting donations for humanitarian aid.
In a recent interview with the Bitcoin.com News Podcast, Misha Rudominski, Co-founder & CEO at Promin Aerospace, shed light on the historical initiative, the ground-breaking technology behind it, and even the possibility of storing the entire bitcoin blockchain in space.
Promin Aerospace is the world’s primary developer and manufacturer of advanced autophagic rocket propulsion, according to Rudominski. The company is bringing an entirely new type of rocket propulsion system to the market that will make it possible to create rockets that are at least 2 times more efficient than the current state-of-the-art. Promin Aerospace has received $6.5M in pre-orders for future products and services and has a team of 11 continuously working in their R&D facilities in Dnipro, Ukraine, to upgrade the core technology.
The Meta History NFT museum was created to commemorate the history of the current events in Ukraine, preserve the truth, and collect donations for humanitarian aid. The platform has received backing from high-profile investors and tech companies, including Google.
Lisa Bordun, Head of Legal at Promin, is a law geek with specialization in space, and has an MBA with two degrees in law from Ukraine and the USA. She noted the significance of sending NFTs into space, stating that “the Meta History NFT museum and Promin Aerospace share common ideas and values, one of which is appreciation towards the history and the need to preserve it.”
Such initiatives of sending NFTs into space have been the subject of debates within the crypto community. Some believe that this would be an innovative way of celebrating some of the major accomplishments of humankind on a global scale, while others argue that it could become a mere gimmick to garner publicity without any significant impact.
During the podcast interview, Rudominski also spoke about the idea of storing the entire bitcoin blockchain in space. He suggested that it is an idea that could be explored as a long-term solution for maintaining the security of this decentralized network. Storing the bitcoin blockchain in space could prevent the network from being susceptible to any physical damage or geo-political risks that could arise from natural calamities, for example, he pointed out.
The podcast, which features interviews with the most interesting leaders, founders, and investors in the world of cryptocurrency, decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and the Metaverse, is available on iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play.
