It was recently mentioned in relation to the Art Basel Miami event, which featured other noteworthy NFT pieces. Scientists and engineers had written the NFT of Star Trek founder Gene Roddenberry’s signature into a live cell as an example of a “Eco-NFT,” in what was probably a global first. The signature was extracted from a paper he signed in 1965 with Lucille Ball and Desilu Productions, which gave birth to the first Star Trek series.
