Geneva, Switzerland – August 3, 2025 – Justin Sun, founder of TRON, successfully completed a historic journey to space aboard Blue Origin’s 14th human spaceflight and the 34th flight for the New Shepard program. With the successful completion of this mission, Sun becomes the youngest Chinese-born commercial astronaut and the first entrepreneur from the cryptocurrency industry featured on the cover of Forbes to reach space.
“For this mission we waited four years, but we finally delivered. I really appreciate Mr. Bezos and his team for making this possible. And thank you dad and mom for bringing me into earth,” said Sun upon his return. “When I look from space, the earth is so small and it’s our home. We need to do whatever we can do to protect it.”
In 2021, Sun placed the winning bid for the first seat on New Shepard. The $28 million in proceeds were donated to Blue Origin’s foundation, Club for the Future, which selected 19 space-focused non-profits to each receive a $1 million grant to inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) for the benefit of Earth and help invent the future of life in space.
Sun carried 1,000 personal wishes from the global TRON community aboard the flight, a symbolic gesture representing the TRON ecosystem’s first presence beyond Earth’s atmosphere. This moment served as a tribute to the entire crypto industry including the builders, users, and supporters who have helped advance the Web3 mission of decentralization and innovation around the world.
Sun’s successful spaceflight represents far more than an individual achievement, it represents a growing intersection between commercial space exploration and emerging technologies like blockchain. As a pioneer in digital finance and decentralized systems, Sun’s milestone shows how bold leadership can drive both technological progress and human discovery. His historic journey not only places TRON at the forefront of innovation but also inspires a new generation to imagine what’s possible when technology, vision, and ambition reach beyond Earth.
