Justin Sun, founder of the TRON blockchain network and a well-known crypto millionaire, finally made it to the edge of space. On Sunday morning, he boarded a Blue Origin rocket for a short but historic suborbital flight—nearly three years after placing a winning $28 million bid for a seat.

Originally scheduled to fly on the very first Blue Origin crewed mission with Jeff Bezos back in 2021, Sun postponed his trip due to personal reasons. Now, he’s made it happen.

A Six-Person Crew Heads to the Edge of Space

At 7:42 AM local time, Justin Sun and five other passengers launched from a site in West Texas aboard the New Shepard rocket. The short flight took them to the edge of space, where they experienced several minutes of weightlessness and a breathtaking view of Earth.

Alongside Sun were:

🔹 Arvi Bahal – real estate investor

🔹 Gökhan Erdem – Turkish entrepreneur

🔹 Deborah Martorell – meteorologist and journalist

🔹 Lionel Pitchford – schoolteacher

🔹 JD Russell – founder of Alpha Funds

From Blockchain to the Cosmos

Sun, widely recognized as the founder of TRON and an influential figure in the crypto world, is also known for his political ties to the Trump family. His dream of spaceflight became reality thanks to his anonymous $28 million bid in 2021, which went to Blue Origin’s charity Club for the Future. Only later was his identity as the winning bidder revealed.

Space: The New Playground for the Wealthy?

The flight lasted just a few minutes, but for Sun, it marked a major personal milestone—not only fulfilling a childhood dream but also signaling a new era where space travel is no longer limited to astronauts. This NS-24 mission was Blue Origin’s 14th crewed launch, reinforcing its growing dominance in the luxury space tourism sector.

Past notable passengers have included Lauren Sánchez—now Jeff Bezos’s wife—and pop icon Katy Perry.
