(Additional background: Sun is taking flight! Justin Sun will launch into space aboard a Blue Origin rocket, having purchased the seat for $28 million four years ago.) On the evening of August 3, 2025, TRON founder Justin Sun (Justin Sun) took off on Blue Origin (Blue Origin)'s "New Shepard" spacecraft, successfully completing a suborbital space flight. This marks his official status as the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut ever, writing a historic page for Chinese people in the commercial aerospace field. As early as 2021, Justin Sun successfully secured a seat for the first crewed flight of "New Shepard" at the price of $28 million and donated all the bidding funds to Blue Origin's "Club for the Future" (Club for the Future) to support global youth STEM education. He kept this seat reserved until now, waiting for a more symbolic moment to fulfill his dream of flying. After the flight, Justin Sun stated, "I waited a full four years for this flight. But we finally achieved it. I am very grateful to Mr. Bezos and his team for making this possible. Thank you to my parents for bringing me into this world. When I looked at Earth from space, it really seemed very small—but that is our home. We must do everything we can to protect it. This is my first commitment and first step towards space, and there will be more in the future." With the successful completion of this mission, Justin Sun not only became the youngest Chinese astronaut but also echoed the idea of "technology for good, limitless exploration" through his actions, setting an example of adventure and innovation for global youth. Chinese entrepreneurs complete their space-dream journey. The spacecraft used by Blue Origin consists of a booster and a space capsule. The rocket booster sends the capsule to an altitude of about 75 kilometers before separating from it; the capsule continues to ascend until it surpasses the Kármán line at 100 kilometers. Passengers inside will experience about four minutes of weightlessness; then they will slowly descend back to the ground, with the entire journey lasting about 10 minutes. This process design ensures the safety of the flight while maximizing the passengers' experience in space. So far, more than 70 people have realized their aerospace dreams through Blue Origin's space journeys. Justin Sun's space journey is a peak manifestation of his adventurous spirit. From founding TRON to promoting blockchain technology innovation, he has consistently challenged the unknown with fearless courage, unwaveringly pursuing his dreams. As one of China's most renowned post-90s entrepreneurs, Justin Sun has not only created a global impact with TRON in the blockchain field but also earned a worldwide reputation for Chinese people through this space feat. From becoming the youngest Chinese entrepreneur to enter space to promoting TRON as a blockchain platform with over 300 million users globally, he has demonstrated the wisdom and responsibility of the Chinese people through his actions, adding brilliant luster to the image of Chinese people on the global technology stage.

This space flight also highlights the thriving development of commercial aerospace. Blue Origin has successfully conducted over 10 crewed flights, sending more than 70 people to the edge of space. Justin Sun's participation further proves that commercial aerospace is transitioning from a dream for a few to a reality for many. He also connected this space journey with youth STEM education, providing valuable opportunities for global youth to learn science and technology, demonstrating his profound concern for the future of humanity.
