Blue Origin, the Jeff Bezos-owned aerospace company that carried the first famous female-only space flight on Apr. 14, is now planning to have crypto billionaire Justin Sun as a "contestant" of their NS-34 mission.
Justin Sun is the owner of Tron and an avid supporter of President Donald Trump. This created excitement in the crypto scene, as this is all coming together with the convergence of crypto, technology, finance, and the space race.
Sun has been a popular figure in the world of crypto. Not only has he been involved in the creation of a plethora of decentralized apps, but he also purchased BitTorrent.
The NS-34 Mission
The NS-34 mission marks the most recent suborbital flight for Blue Origin. The new Shepard rocket is intended for suborbital space tourism, providing passengers with a thrilling but short experience that features several minutes of weightlessness and impressive views of Earth outside the Kármán line, the internationally accepted boundary of space.
Passengers on board Blue Origin missions are typically chosen from those who made a significant contribution to the likes of technology, philanthropy, or human advancement. The inclusion of Justin Sun follows this trend, given Sun’s global influence in technology and crypto finance.
Notably, Sun was the wealthiest guest at the dinner gala Trump hosted at his private property in May for those who had bought the most TRUMP meme coins.
