A Visionary Beginning
The journey began in June 2021, when Justin Sun won the inaugural crewed flight seat on Blue Origin’s New Shepard with a record-breaking $2800 million bid. The proceeds were donated to "Club for the Future," supporting STEM education for future generations. This philanthropic gesture laid the foundation for his "Sea of Stars" campaign. -
The "Sea of Stars" Mission
Justin Sun conceptualized the "Sea of Stars" program by purchasing an entire New Shepard flight. The mission aimed to bridge the gap between space exploration and the decentralized spirit of blockchain. By carrying 1,000 wishes from the TRON community into orbit, Sun symbolized the collective ambition of the crypto ecosystem reaching for the stars. -
Successful Execution in 2025
On August 3, 2025, the mission was successfully executed. Justin Sun crossed the Kármán line (100km altitude), the international boundary of space, during the NS-34 mission. He experienced several minutes of weightlessness and witnessed the breathtaking curvature of the Earth. This milestone established him as the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut and a pioneer representing the digital asset industry in the cosmos.
