Justin Sun prepares to travel to space with Blue Origin, taking TRON "to the moon"?
Justin Sun, the founder of the blockchain network #Tron , will participate in Blue Origin's NS-34 space mission in the coming weeks, after successfully bidding for a seat on the flight for 28 million USD three years ago. This will be the 14th crewed flight of the New Shepard spacecraft conducted by Blue Origin, and Sun will be one of six crew members.
Sun's 28 million USD bid was donated to Blue Origin's charity fund, supporting space organizations. Although he did not choose the crew himself as rumored, Justin Sun takes pride in being the "youngest Chinese commercial astronaut," which holds special significance in the context of global space competition. However, the price of TRX (the token of TRON) only slightly increased by less than 0.5% after this information, trading around 0.313 USD and ranking 11th by market capitalization.
Recently, Justin Sun attracted attention by purchasing an additional 100 million USD in memecoin $TRUMP and investing 75 million USD into World Liberty Financial, a DeFi project backed by the Trump family. The relationship between Sun and Donald Trump is also clearly demonstrated by his attendance at private parties and receiving gifts from the former president. Sun has also expanded the TRON brand into the entertainment sector, with SRM Entertainment rebranding to "Tron Inc" after 365 million TRX were staked, and Sun taking on the role of strategic advisor.
A noteworthy detail is that Justin Sun was previously investigated by the SEC for alleged market manipulation and unauthorized securities issuance, but the lawsuit has been paused since the end of February 2025. #anhbacong
