H.E. Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization (WTO), has shared that he made the winning bid for the first seat on Blue Origin’s Inaugural New Shepard rocket.
Amounting to $28 million, the full bid went to Club for the Future, which is owned by Blue Origin. The amount benefited 19 space-based charities that will help inspire future generations to aspire for careers in STEM and invent futuristic life in space.
Sun, along with five crewmates, will fly on a New Shepard flight next year. Furthermore, the TRON founder will be the first Grenadian blockchain industry leader, and international diplomat to reach space. To celebrate this milestone, he will be bringing the Grenadian flag with him.
For the next few months, H.E. Justin Sun will nominate five remarkable men and women to travel with him on his voyage. Nominees can be members of the TRON DAO community who are long-term holders of JST, TRX, BTT, NFT, SUN, and WIN.
In addition, prominent leaders from fashion, technology, art, space exploration, and entrepreneurship are also part of the pool. Further details on the nomination process and criteria will be released soon.
Meanwhile, just last July 20, Blue Origin completed its first human flight and successfully came back from suborbital space above the internationally-recognized boundary of space, the Kármán line.
Moreover, as part of Sun’s voyage, he is launching the ‘Sea of Stars’ campaign which was named following the Chinese idiom “星辰大海”. This conveys that “Earth is where the chapter of human life begins for the future generations, not where it ends.”
For the next few months, H.E. Justin Sun will nominate five remarkable men and women to travel with him on his voyage. On the other hand, Sun expressed his thoughts:
With the rapid development of commercial aerospace, entering space may become a dream that every person can realize in his or her lifetime. We are entering the era of great spaceflight. This great journey requires more people to get involved. The initiative of Blue Origin to take more people to space to see Earth as our singular common home is extraordinary. Club for the Future offers a way to use that experience to inspire youth around the world to dream and act on their dreams of science, technology, and space exploration. I felt compelled to help further that vision through my bid.
