Geneva, Switzerland – July 22, 2025 – Justin Sang, the founder of Tron and one of Crypto’s most famous figures, is set to make history as the youngest commercial astronaut born in China and the first Forbes Cover crypto entrepreneur to travel into space on a new Shepherd from Blue Origin. This mission is the 14th human flight for the new Shepherd program, and the 34th in its history. The flight date will be announced soon. The live webcast for release date begins 30 minutes before the lift-off.
In 2021, Sun placed a bid on the first seat of New Shepherd. The $28 million proceeds were donated to the Blue Origin Foundation, Club for the Future. This will help you choose a nonprofit focused on 19 spaces, receive a $1 million grant, inspire future generations, pursue steam (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) for the benefit of the planet, and invent future life in the universe.
“We are witnessing the beginning of a new chapter in human exploration, where space is no longer reserved for government or institutions, but it is becoming the frontier of innovators, dreamers and architects of all occupations,” San said. “The Club for Blue Origin’s commitment to expand access to space and its future mission to inspire young people around the world reflects a strong vision. We are proud to support this effort and promote the belief that space is not just a small number, but a place for everyone.”
Sun’s upcoming flights are more than a personal milestone. It highlights the international presence in commercial space travel and the increasing link between blockchain and scientific innovation. As a leading voice in the digital economy and a powerful advocate for decentralized technology, his journey reflects the broader possibilities of global collaboration and advancement in the frontiers of space exploration.
