Tron's Justin Sun Blasts Off into Space with Blue Origin's Diverse Crew!
Crypto Mogul Joins Meteorologists, Philanthropists, and Innovators on Historic Flight
Hold onto your hats, folks! Tron founder Justin Sun is about to rocket past the Kármán line, and he's not going alone. He's teaming up with a wild crew of adventurers, philanthropists, and innovators, each with a story that's just as wild as Sun's $28 million charity bid that snagged him his seat.
Blue Origin dropped the bombshell on July 21, revealing the crew for their upcoming New Shepard NS-34 mission. And guess who's on the list? None other than our man Justin Sun, joining five other thrill-seekers ready to break the boundaries of space.
Get this: the passenger list reads like a who's who of awesomeness. From a meteorologist to a venture capitalist, we've got J.D. Russell, Arvi Bahal, Gökhan Erdem, Deborah Martorell, and Lionel Pitchford all geared up for the ride of their lives.
Sun locked in his spot back in 2021 with that jaw-dropping $28 million bid. Back then, his identity was a mystery, but now, almost three years later, this blockchain badass is suiting up for a flight that's become a public spectacle.
Mark your calendars, because Blue Origin's 14th human spaceflight and 34th overall mission is set to launch in the coming weeks. And you better believe they're gonna livestream the whole thing, from liftoff to the mind-blowing suborbital journey.
When NS-34 takes off, Sun — a crypto kingpin with tight connections to the Trump administration — will be strapped in next to scientists, philanthropists, and adventurers, each with their own epic tale to tell.
Blue Origin's announcement even called him "H.E. Justin Sun," giving a nod to his diplomatic chops as much as his tech wizardry. And get this: Sun's $28 million auction win sent 19 space education programs into the stratosphere, from scholarships for future astronauts to fellowships for women in aerospace.
After the crew was announced, Sun kept it real, focusing on the bigger picture instead of bragging about joining the space elite:
In 2021, I bid $28M for a seat on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket—funds that went to their foundation to support 19 space-based charities inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders. Proud to join Blue Origin's NS-34 mission and keep pushing the boundaries!
