From the builder of the TRON ecosystem to the brave interstellar pioneer, Justin Sun's journey into space is always intertwined with a steadfast belief in cryptocurrency technology.
In July, TRON ignited an ecological nuclear explosion with a series of strategic milestones: first, the on-chain USDT issuance exceeded $80 billion and continuously set new historical highs; mid-month, TRON opened the Binance Alpha channel; by the end of the month, TRON rang the Nasdaq bell, becoming the first blockchain mainnet to enter the global mainstream capital market. Beyond this series of glorious achievements, TRON founder Justin Sun's Blue Origin NS-34 space ticket was also officially activated—this crypto pioneer, who is about to break the record for the youngest Chinese in commercial spaceflight, will carry TRON digital assets on an expedition into space, completing a technological experiment across planets.
On July 21, Blue Origin, the commercial space project founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, announced the latest NS-34 space passenger list, with TRON founder Justin Sun (H.E. Justin Sun) as the only representative from the cryptocurrency field. This four-year space promise has finally come to fruition: in 2021, he won the first flight seat for $28 million but missed the opportunity to fly with Bezos due to a scheduling conflict. Now, on the 14th manned flight of the spacecraft, he will transition from "crypto pioneer" to "interstellar explorer," becoming the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut and leaving a significant mark in the history of Chinese space exploration.
From the builder of the TRON ecosystem to the brave interstellar pioneer, Justin Sun's journey into space is always intertwined with a steadfast belief in cryptocurrency technology. During this space journey, he may carry TRON ecosystem digital assets to the Kármán line (the internationally recognized boundary of space) at an altitude of 100 kilometers, completing a space experiment on cryptocurrency technology in a weightless environment.
To celebrate this important historical moment, the TRON ECO ecosystem project jointly launched the "Justin to Space" interstellar program series of activities: establishing a prize pool of approximately 6000 USDT, activating public participation in the space gold rush through various activities such as the TRON ECO space content competition, interstellar space station NFT co-creation, interstellar liaison recruitment, space launch meme coins, and trading sprints, helping TRON ECO embark on a new journey in the interstellar economy.
This space journey is not only a personal honor for Justin Sun but also a significant breakthrough for the TRON ecosystem and the entire cryptocurrency industry. Through this space experiment and the series of interstellar program activities, the TRON ecosystem will showcase its strong capabilities in technological innovation, community building, and cross-domain collaboration to the world, setting a new benchmark for the future development of the cryptocurrency industry.
Four Years of Interstellar Journey Finally Realized, $28 Million Auction Supports Aerospace Development
From a pioneering entrepreneur in the cryptocurrency field to a space explorer today, every step Justin Sun takes exemplifies the spirit of breakthrough and innovation. From becoming the first bidder for a manned seat on Blue Origin to venturing into space and leaving a significant mark in the history of commercial spaceflight, this four-year interstellar promise has finally reached its moment of fulfillment.
This flight is not only Justin Sun's personal dream journey into space but also a milestone step for cryptocurrency assets towards deep space exploration, opening a new era of integration between commercial aerospace and the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Four years ago (in 2021), TRON founder Justin Sun successfully bid $28 million for a seat on Blue Origin's "New Shepard" for its first commercial manned flight. This amount was fully donated to the Blue Origin Foundation's "Club for the Future," to support 19 nonprofit organizations in the space sector, inspiring the next generation to engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) fields, empowering the welfare of the Earth, and helping to create a future of living in space. This achievement not only caused a stir in the cryptocurrency and aerospace industries but also pioneered the cross-industry support for aerospace development from the cryptocurrency sector.
This four-year journey had the opportunity to create history even earlier. In July 2021, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos personally participated in Blue Origin's "New Shepard" first manned spaceflight. As the successful bidder for the first manned seat on the spacecraft, Justin Sun had the chance to fly alongside Bezos but unfortunately missed it due to a scheduling conflict.
The NS-34 flight mission announced by Blue Origin on July 21 is the 34th flight of the spacecraft and the 14th manned flight, carrying six passengers, each with a window seat. In addition to TRON founder Justin Sun, the passengers include Indian-American real estate investor Arvinder Singh Bahal, Turkish businessman Gökhan Erdem, Puerto Rican meteorologist and journalist Deborah Martorell, British philanthropist Lionel Pitchford, and entrepreneur J.D. Russell, who is flying for the second time. The specific date of the flight is yet to be determined, with a live broadcast starting 30 minutes before launch.
According to the plan, this flight will depart from a launch site in western Texas, reaching an altitude of approximately 105 kilometers. The booster will separate from the capsule at an altitude of 75 kilometers, allowing the capsule to continue rising to over 100 kilometers, breaking the Kármán line and entering space. Inside the capsule, weightlessness will be experienced, allowing passengers to unbuckle their seatbelts and float freely, enjoying the wonderful sensation of weightlessness while overlooking the magnificent views of Earth and the universe. The entire flight process will last about 10 minutes and will be autonomously controlled by the system. Subsequently, the capsule will safely return to Earth using parachutes, landing in the Texas desert. After completing this flight feat, Justin Sun will become the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut.
As a leader in the cryptocurrency field and an active advocate for decentralized technology, his journey into space is not only a personal dream come true but also a highlight moment for TRON to showcase its technological strength and industry leadership to the world. During previous space flight training, global users will see the TRON logo around the Blue Origin spacecraft.
The Deep Integration of Cryptocurrency Technology and Aerospace Technology: TRON Opens a New Chapter in Interstellar Civilization
If the entry of Fish Pool co-founder Wang Chun into space via SpaceX in May was the first interstellar appearance of the cryptocurrency industry, then Justin Sun's space journey can be regarded as a more profound exploration. It not only demonstrates the deep integration of cryptocurrency technology with cutting-edge aerospace technology but also opens up infinite possibilities for the cryptocurrency industry in the field of space exploration. While traditional tech giants are still fiercely competing in low Earth orbit, crypto pioneer Justin Sun has already set his sights on the vast interstellar space, exploring how cryptocurrency technology can lay the technological foundation for rapid human development in the cosmos—through a unique space program that integrates community celebration, ecological empowerment, and civilizational vision, opening a new interstellar era for the cryptocurrency field.
In the eyes of the cryptocurrency community, this is not merely a continuation of the space race between Bezos and Musk, but a profound transformation and dimensional penetration of the traditional aerospace model by the cryptocurrency economy. While SpaceX is still meticulously calculating the cost-effectiveness of manned spaceflight, TRON has successfully enabled millions of users to indirectly participate in the preliminary construction of the interstellar economy through innovative community incentive mechanisms. This model not only highlights the immense potential of cryptocurrency technology but also provides new ideas and directions for the future construction of the interstellar economy.
In May of this year, the cryptocurrency exchange HTX launched a "Mars Plan Special Event," funded by Justin Sun personally, recruiting lucky users globally to give away space travel tickets worth $6 million. After Blue Origin announced Justin Sun's space itinerary, crypto KOL AB Kuai.Dong predicted in a post: "This year, more people in the cryptocurrency field will purchase rocket seats and complete their space journeys."
In a recent interview, Justin Sun shared profound insights about this flight: "As the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut, this space flight is not only a personal breakthrough but also symbolizes that a new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs is bravely stepping into the higher-dimensional frontier of space technology from cutting-edge fields like blockchain and AI. I firmly believe that the integration of cryptocurrency technology and space will be a key part of the upgrade of human civilization, as the core spirits of both are highly aligned—decentralization and breaking boundaries. Cryptocurrency technology reconstructs the traditional financial system, while space exploration challenges the physical limits of Earth; both are redefining the rules through technology."
He further elaborated: "In a sense, cryptocurrency technology is the vanguard force driving social structural change through technology, while space exploration is the next step in humanity's quest for the unknown. I am willing to use this flight as a bridge to bring the resilient spirit and infinite creativity of the cryptocurrency community into space, while also bringing back the broad vision and infinite possibilities that space offers to the cryptocurrency world."
Regarding the future integration of cryptocurrency technology and space technology, Justin Sun proposed four forward-looking ideas:
On-chain space asset management: Scarce resources such as space satellites, minerals, and communication frequencies can be efficiently verified and reasonably allocated through on-chain technology.
Interplanetary financial system: In the era of space colonization or deep space exploration, cryptocurrency technology will become a cross-planetary value medium that traditional finance cannot reach.
Blockchain empowering space data: Blockchain technology can provide an immutable and trustworthy record carrier for key data generated by space stations, satellite networks, etc.
Web3 community-driven space crowdfunding: Future plans for rocket launches, satellite deployments, etc., are expected to be jointly funded and governed by global DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), achieving true decentralization.
From a frontline builder of the TRON ecosystem to a pioneering interstellar explorer, Justin Sun's journey into space is always intertwined with a steadfast belief in cryptocurrency fundamentalism. While traditional aerospace giants are still competing for low Earth orbit resources, this crypto pioneer has set his sights on the vast interstellar space, exploring how cryptocurrency technology can lay the technological foundation for rapid human development in the cosmos.
Justin Sun has publicly stated that his investment in space exploration is long-term and steadfast, and it will not stop at a single flight; there may be more space journeys in the future, and the cooperation between TRON and strategic partners like SpaceX and Blue Origin will continue to deepen and expand.
