No one in the blockchain world has ever done this. But Justin Sun – the founder of TRON – is about to break the boundaries between digital currency and… weightlessness.
📍 According to an announcement from Blue Origin – the aerospace company of Jeff Bezos – Justin Sun will participate in the upcoming New Shepard flight. Although the specific date has not been disclosed, Blue Origin's official account has confirmed the 'preparing for takeoff' journey.
📹 On May 29, Sun posted a video stepping into a spacecraft simulation model, flipping through a Forbes magazine with his own face on the cover – as a wordless message: 'I am ready for space.'
💰 The story began in 2021, when Sun spent his auction winnings from a charity bid to secure a spot on Blue Origin's first flight. That money was later transferred to the 'Club for the Future' – a fund supporting education and space development. Due to a busy schedule, he did not join the initial trip – but now is Justin's time.
🔥 The crypto community is buzzing. Some call it a 'PR stunt', while others believe this is a historic turning point: Crypto is not just going to the moon – but straight to space.
📚 Justin Sun is no stranger to the spotlight: from spending $4.5 million on lunch with Warren Buffett, to attending a private dinner with Donald Trump, or sharing the stage with Michael Saylor and the Winklevoss twins. This time, he is not at a conference – he is literally going to the sky.
🌌 If the trip is successful, Justin Sun will become the first figure in the cryptocurrency industry to fly into space – a milestone that is both symbolic and heavily marketing-oriented.
