Justin Sun Set for Blue Origin Spaceflight

Tron's founder, Justin Sun, is preparing to travel to space aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-34 mission. He will join five other crew members, fulfilling a journey set in motion by his $28 million winning bid in 2021 for the first New Shepard seat.

The NS-34 mission will also include Arvi Bahal, Gökhan Erdem, Deborah Martorell, Lionel Pitchford, and James Russell. This mission marks Blue Origin's 34th overall flight and its 14th human spaceflight, bringing the total number of people transported beyond the Kármán line to 70.

The launch date is yet to be announced, with Blue Origin promising updates soon.

Philanthropic Impact of Sun's Bid

The proceeds from Justin Sun's winning bid were donated to 19 space-focused charities through Blue Origin’s Club for the Future foundation. Each organization received $1 million to promote STEAM careers and space innovation.

Sun stated, "Proud to join Blue Origin’s NS-34 mission and continue encouraging youth to pursue their dreams in science and space!"

Sun's Recent High-Profile Activities

Justin Sun's participation in high-profile events continues, including a private dinner with former President Donald Trump at his golf club in Virginia. Sun secured his seat as a top holder of the TRUMP meme token, with an investment exceeding $18 million.

The exclusive event hosted the top 220 token holders, with the top 25 gaining VIP access and meeting Trump in person. Sun also received a Trump-branded watch valued at $100,000 during the event.
