Justin Sun, who recently announced that he will leave his position as the CEO of the Tron foundation, which he founded, and will be the representative of Grenada, said that Jeff Bezos will go to space in 2022 with the Blue Origin flight.
31-year-old Sun paid $28 million at the auction, which was held with the participation of 2600 people, to take part in Blue Origin’s flight, but could not join the flight due to a scheduling conflict.
However, Sun, together with Justin Sun, will join 5 more people on the next year’s flight with Blue Orgien.
In a statement, Blue Origin confirmed Sun’s upcoming trip and paid $28 million. “In the coming months, Justin Sun will nominate five people to travel with him on his journey” said.
In his statement on the subject, Sun said:
“We are entering the era of great spaceflights. This wonderful journey requires more people to be involved. Blue Origin’s initiative to take more people into space to see Earth as our only shared home is extraordinary.”
Justin Sun will decide who will go with him on the space journey, which will take about 11 minutes.
Sun said the five people he would nominate for the flight could be a member of the TRON DAO community, long-term investors, and distinguished leaders from all fields, from fashion to technology, from space exploration to entrepreneurship.
Details regarding the nomination process and criteria will be announced in the coming months.
Justin Sun’s spokesperson stated that Sun’s going to space has no financial or commercial ties to the Tron Foundation, and that the amount paid for the space travel is covered by Sun himself.
