Former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has raised $500,000 for Ukraine in the midst of war with Russia. He was able to do this with the help of a collection of NFT drawings.

Kelly holds the record for permanent stays on the ISS. She lived in space for 340 days from 2015 to 2016. First NFT collection named Dreams are not of this world. Scott hopes his work will inspire people to become stars.

The illustrations collection consists of a series of pieces that depict Kelly in space against the backdrop of the Earth. In one study in St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery and the Ukrainian flag. The products were displayed on the OpenSea trading floor on International Human Space Day, April 12. The collection sold out in a few hours, and the total revenue – 500 thousand dollars.

Scott is an ardent opponent of the war in Ukraine, which Russia started 8 years ago. Against the background of a large-scale invasion on February 24, it cannot remain silent on this issue.

“Putin’s war crimes and the support or indifference of the Russian people have condemned Russia to a very bleak future,” the astronaut said in a statement on his social media account.

On his Twitter page, he actively supports our country and even publishes the statements of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
