Justin Sun, founder of TRON, reached space this week aboard the Jeff Bezos-founded Blue Origin New Shepard vehicle. He took off on the 14th human spaceflight and the 34th flight in that program, reports disclose.
That group turned around and funded 19 space-focused nonprofits with $1 million each. It all aimed to spark interest in STEAM careers and protect our home planet.
Blue Origin’s program is still young. It’s ushering in wealthy travelers and public figures. Some critics call these missions high-profile photo ops. Others see real promise for science and partnerships. We’ll see how opinions evolve as more people climb aboard.
