Geneva, Switzerland – July 22, 2025 – TRON founder and crypto pioneer Justin Sun is preparing for a historic space mission that will make him the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut and the first crypto entrepreneur from Forbes’ list to venture into orbit. He will board Blue Origin’s New Shepard for its 14th crewed flight and the 34th launch overall. The exact launch date is yet to be announced, but a live stream will begin 30 minutes before liftoff on launch day.

Back in 2021, Sun won a bid for a seat on New Shepard, paying $28 million. The entire amount was donated to Blue Origin’s Club for the Future, which selected 19 nonprofit organizations focused on space education. Each received a $1 million grant aimed at inspiring future generations to pursue careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math), benefiting life on Earth and enabling innovation in space.

“We are witnessing a new era of exploration where space is no longer reserved for governments and institutions, but open to visionaries, dreamers, and builders from all walks of life,” said Sun. “Blue Origin’s commitment to expanding access to space and Club for the Future’s mission to inspire youth reflect a powerful vision. I’m proud to support this and promote the idea that space belongs to everyone, not just a select few.”

Sun’s upcoming journey is more than just a personal milestone. It highlights the growing international presence in commercial space travel and the increasing interconnection between blockchain and scientific innovation. As a leading voice in the digital economy and a strong advocate for decentralized technologies, Sun represents the potential for global collaboration and advancement at the frontiers of space exploration.
