Tron founder Justin Sun successfully completed his historic journey into space, aboard Blue Origin’s 14th human spaceflight and the 34th flight of the new Shepherd program. Once this mission is successfully completed, Sun will become the youngest commercial astronaut born in China and the first entrepreneur in the cryptocurrency industry to be registered on the cover of Forbes.
“I’ve been waiting for four years on this mission and finally we’ve delivered. I’m really grateful that Bezos and his team have made this possible, and I’m grateful to Dad and Mom for taking me to Earth,” Sun said. “From space, the Earth is so small, it’s our home. We need to do whatever we can to protect it.”
In 2021, Sun placed a bid on the first seat of New Shepherd. The $28 million proceeds were donated to the Blue Origin Foundation, Club for the Future. This will help you choose a nonprofit focused on 19 spaces, receive a $1 million grant, inspire future generations, pursue steam (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) for the benefit of the planet, and invent future life in the universe.
Sun had 1,000 personal wishes from the global Tron community on the flight. This is a symbolic gesture representing the first existence of the tron ecosystem beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. This moment paid tribute to the entire crypto industry, including builders, users and supporters who helped advance the decentralization and innovation Web3 mission around the world.
Sun’s success in spaceflight represents more than individual achievements, representing an increase in intersections between commercial space exploration and emerging technologies such as blockchain. As a pioneer in digital finance and distributed systems, Sun’s milestones demonstrate how bold leadership can drive both technological advancements and human discovery. His historic journey not only places Tron at the forefront of innovation, but also encourages a new generation to imagine what is possible when technology, vision and ambitions transcend the globe.
