Crypto Mogul’s Wild Space Bid: Out of This World Drama! 🚀

by

Ah, darling, as Tron’s very own golden boy, Justin Sun, teeters on the edge of the Kármán line, he’s rubbing shoulders with a motley crew of dreamers and do-gooders, all thanks to that eyebrow-raising $28 million he tossed into the charity pot. One can’t help but chuckle at the thought – is it philanthropy or just a cosmic game of one-upmanship? 😏

Picture this: Blue Origin drops the news on July 21 that their New Shepard NS-34 jaunt will feature none other than Justin Sun among its stellar lineup. It’s almost too poetic, isn’t it? The blockchain whiz kid finally getting his ticket punched after all this time.

The roster reads like a guest list to a very exclusive, slightly absurd party: there’s J.D. Russell, the weather whisperer; Arvi Bahal, probably plotting his next venture; Gökhan Erdem, Deborah Martorell, and Lionel Pitchford – each one more colorful than the last. One imagines Coward himself would quip about the eclectic mix, perhaps likening it to a Noël Coward play where everyone’s overacting their parts. 🎭

Back in 2021, Sun clinched his spot with a bid that could fund a small nation’s holiday – $28 million, no less. Kept under wraps like a juicy secret, and now, three years on, the crypto crusader is all set to don his spacesuit. How droll that what started as a whisper has ballooned into a full-blown spectacle. 😂

This little escapade, Blue Origin’s 14th human fling into the void and 34th overall, is penciled in for the next few weeks. Expect a livestream that’ll capture the thrill of liftoff and that fleeting suborbital sashay – popcorn optional, but highly recommended. 🚀

When NS-34 blasts off, Sun, with his chummy ties to the Trump set and a wallet that never quits, will be squeezed in with a bunch of eggheads, bleeding hearts, and thrill-seekers, each flaunting their own tall tales. It’s all rather reminiscent of a Coward comedy, where the rich and ridiculous collide in the most unexpected places. 😎

Blue Origin’s announcement was positively dripping with deference, calling him “H.E. Justin Sun” – a nod to his diplomatic dabblings as much as his digital dealings. And let’s not forget, that mammoth bid didn’t just buy a seat; it catapulted 19 space ed programs to new heights, from astronaut scholarships to empowering the ladies of aerospace. How generous, or is it just good PR? 😉

In his own rather modest musings post-announcement, Sun shifted the spotlight to the greater good, steering clear of any self-congratulatory nonsense:

In 2021, I bid $28M for a seat on @BlueOrigin’s New Shepard rocket—funds that went to @clubforfuture, Blue Origin’s foundation, to support 19 space-based charities inspiring the next generation of STEM leaders.

Proud to join Blue Origin’s NS-34 mission and continue encouraging…
