Founder of blockchain platform TRON, Justin Sun has tweeted on Wednesday, December 22 that he will fly into space on billionaire Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin’s flight next year and invite five other crewmates. Additionally, Sun revealed himself to be the anonymous bidder who paid $28 million in an auction for a seat to join Bezos aboard Blue Origin’s first crewed mission in July, Reuters reported.
“I won the auction six months ago but missed the launch. However, this did not stop my love for space. So I’m very excited to announce this news and turn this opportunity into a voyage with five other warriors to space with me because I believe that space belongs to everyone!” Sun tweeted on December 22.
Moreover, Sun added that the other five people he will nominate in upcoming months may include a member of the TRON DAO community who is long-term holder of certain cryptocurrencies and other leaders from fashion, technology and entrepreneurship.
