Justin Sun, founder of Layer-1 Tron Blockchain Network, returned safely from a commercial space flight on Saturday, alongside five other crew members aboard Blue Origin Mission NS-34.
The other crew members included the founder of the venture capital company Alpha Funds, JD Russell, the entrepreneur Gökhan Erdem, the real estate investor Arvi Bahal, the meteorologist Deborah Martorell and the Philanthrope and teacher Lionel Pitchford.
Sun placed an offer of $ 28 million for a headquarters aboard Blue Origin Spaceflight NS-34 in 2021 and won the first reservation for the planned mission.
“The earth is so small, and it is our house. We must certainly do everything we can to protect it,” said Sun after the flight back on Saturday. He also added:
“I was very surprised. The earth is so small. Basically, we could almost see it all from the window, and that’s when it came to me, the name of the mission is just on the point. ”
The reaction of the founder of Tron to see the earth from a spacecraft is common in astronauts and is known as the “overview”. This phenomenon is characterized as a cognitive change on the interdependence of the planet and the place of humanity in the universe.

Blockchain in space, taking immutability to stars
Several crypto projects are trying to bring the decentralization and immutability of blockchain to space while humanity crosses the final border.
FILECOIN, a project building decentralized storage systems, and the defense entrepreneur Lockheed Martin, successfully tested the interplanetary file system (IPF) in January 2024.
IPFS is a means of transmitting land data to space, and the demonstration of January 2024 showed how the files could be sent from the planet to space and vice versa via satellites.
The president of the Fleccoin Foundation, Marta Belcher, told Cintelegraph that the storage of decentralized files and IPFs are necessary for interplanetary and spatial communication.
Belcher explained that decentralized data storage via blockchain networks reduces latency, guarantees that communications are the proof of offense and protect the integrity of data against constant solar radiation that bomb the spatial infrastructure, causing a degradation of sensitive IT equipment as hard drives and corrupt data in the process.
In December 2024, SpaceCoin Xyz, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (TPO), which launched satellites in space for its blockchain communication network, launched its first orbit satellite above the planet.
