Justin Sun Completes Historic Space Journey with Blue Origin

Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain network, successfully returned from Blue Origin’s NS-34 mission on Saturday.

Five other crew members joined the crypto entrepreneur on the commercial spaceflight. Sun had won his seat through a $28 million bid placed in 2021.

Earth Perspective Inspires Reflection on Planetary Protection

The ten-minute journey took the crew beyond the Kármán line at 100 kilometers altitude. Meanwhile, during the suborbital flight, passengers experienced approximately four minutes of weightlessness. The mission marked the realization of the dream of space travel for Sun, now the youngest Chinese astronaut in history.

“Earth is so small, and it’s our home,” Sun said after landing safely. Furthermore, he emphasized the responsibility of humankind to protect the planet following his aerial perspective. Sun described being surprised by Earth’s apparent small size when viewed from space.
