On July 21, Blue Origin, a commercial aerospace company invested and founded by Amazon founder Bezos, announced the list of passengers for the new space journey. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, will take the Blue Origin New Shepard rocket to realize his dream of space. Justin Sun has thus become the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut in history, writing a historic chapter in the integration of commercial aerospace and Chinese. In 2021, Justin Sun successfully bid for the first manned flight seat of the New Shepard for US$28 million, and donated all the bidding funds to the Blue Origin Future Club to support STEM education for young people around the world. This feat not only fulfilled his childhood dream of space, but also demonstrated his fearless spirit of adventure and his profound concern for the future of mankind.
Chinese entrepreneurs will complete their journey to pursue their dreams of space
The spacecraft used by Blue Origin consists of a booster and a space capsule. After the rocket booster sends the space capsule to an altitude of about 75 kilometers, it will separate from the space capsule; the space capsule will then continue to fly upward until it exceeds the Karman line of 100 kilometers. Passengers will experience about 4 minutes of weightlessness in the capsule; then slowly descend to the ground, and the entire journey will last about 10 minutes.
This process design not only ensures flight safety, but also maximizes the passengers experience in space. So far, more than 70 people have realized their space dreams through Blue Origins space journey.
Justin Suns space journey is the pinnacle of his adventurous spirit. From founding TRON to promoting blockchain technology innovation, he has always challenged the unknown with fearless courage and pursued his dreams unswervingly. Going to space has been my dream since I was a child, and this is also the direction of the future of mankind, said Justin Sun after successfully bidding for a seat on the Blue Origin flight. With the rapid development of commercial aerospace, going to space may become a dream that everyone can achieve. We are entering a great era of space flight. Blue Origin and the Future Club are inspiring young people around the world to realize their dreams of science, technology and space exploration. I feel the need to help people realize this vision.
As one of the most famous post-90s entrepreneurs in China, Sun Yuchen not only created the global influence of TRON in the blockchain field, but also won a worldwide reputation for the Chinese through this space feat. From becoming the first Chinese entrepreneur to go into space to promoting TRON to become a blockchain platform with more than 300 million users worldwide, he has demonstrated the wisdom and responsibility of the Chinese with his actions, adding a dazzling light to the image of the Chinese on the global technology stage.
Whether it is through TRONs decentralized financial innovation or his $28 million bid to donate to support cutting-edge technology education, Justin Sun has always been at the forefront of technology and dreams, daring to try and lead change.
From blockchain to interstellar, Justin Sun is once again number one
In 2021, Justin Sun bought a seat on the first manned flight of Blue Origins New Shepard for $28 million, but was unable to go due to schedule conflicts. Now, he will realize his dream of space, fly over the Karman line (100 kilometers) on the New Shepard, experience a few minutes of weightlessness, and overlook the magnificent scenery of the earth. This feat makes him the first Chinese entrepreneur to bring the pioneering spirit of the blockchain industry into space.
As the founder of TRON, Justin Sun has created many milestones in the blockchain field. As of now, TRON has more than 300 million global users, 81.6 billion USDT issued on the chain, more than 3 million active addresses per day, and the total amount of stablecoin settlement on the chain is expected to exceed Visa this year, becoming the pillar of the global stablecoin ecosystem and the most important new payment system infrastructure.
On July 17, SRM Entertainment, a Nasdaq-listed company, officially changed its stock code from SRM to TRON, once again creating a record for Chinese blockchains. TRON has thus entered the worlds most important and active financial market, and has made significant milestone progress in continuously building its brands international influence. In the process of compliance brought about by the recognition of crypto assets by sovereign countries and mainstream institutions, TRON, led by Justin Sun, has once again shaped the first place in the blockchain public chain track.
These achievements add a technological and innovative background to Justin Sun’s space feat, highlighting his pioneering spirit in promoting blockchain technology to the world.
Setting a new benchmark: the integration of blockchain and commercial aerospace
Justin Suns space journey is not only a personal historic breakthrough, but also sets a new benchmark for the blockchain industry. As the first Chinese entrepreneur to go into space, he not only promoted TRONs brand influence to the world, but also inspired more technology entrepreneurs to pursue cross-field innovation breakthroughs. As he demonstrated his global vision in his conversation with Eric Trump at the Token 2049 Summit in 2025, Justin Sun has always been committed to combining blockchain technology with cutting-edge fields and exploring the infinite possibilities of decentralization. His adventurous spirit and firm support for cutting-edge technology set an example for the global technology community.
This space flight also highlights the booming development of commercial spaceflight. Blue Origin has successfully carried out 13 manned flights, sending more than 70 people to the edge of space. Sun Yuchens participation further proves that commercial spaceflight is changing from a dream of a few to a reality for all. He also linked this space trip with youth STEM education, providing valuable opportunities for young people around the world to learn science and technology, showing his profound concern for the future destiny of mankind.
“Space exploration is the common mission of all mankind,” said Justin Sun. “I hope that through this flight, I can inspire more young people to engage in technology and innovation, and jointly shape the interstellar future of mankind.” He plans to carry the TRON logo and the flag of the People’s Republic of China during the flight, symbolizing the dual significance of blockchain and international cooperation and highlighting the global influence of Chinese people.
From completing a life-changing achievement to enter Peking University, to creating one of the most influential blockchain platforms in the world, to entering space to complete an interstellar journey, he used his fearless spirit of adventure and unswerving belief in pursuing his dreams to demonstrate the wisdom and responsibility of the Chinese people, and also inspired entrepreneurs around the world to break boundaries and pursue excellence.
