Justin Sun Pays $28 million to Join Blue Origin's Space Crew

- TRON founder Justin Sun secures seat on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. - Space journey sparks meme token frenzy, including $JMOON. On July 21, 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that TRON founder Justin Sun will join Blue Origin’s 34th space mission aboard the New Shepard rocket after winning the seat in a 2021 auction for $28 million. Sun donated the entire sum to Blue Origin’s foundation, Club for the Future, which then channeled $1 million each to 19 space and STEAM-focused charities. Five crew members will accompany Sun on the mission: Arvi Bahal, Gökhan Erdem, Deborah Martorell, Lionel Pitchford, and J.D. Russell. However, the exact launch date remains dependent on weather conditions. Sun’s announcement drove a wave of meme token creation tied to his space venture, as tokens like "Justin Moon" ($JMOON) and "Astronaut Justin Sun" gained attention. "Justin Moon," for instance, is a TRON-based token but reportedly features shallow liquidity pools, a common characteristic for such tokens. According to CoinMarketCap on July 21, TRON (TRX) was trading at $0.313 at 20:09 UTC, marking a 1.39% decline in 24-hour volume.
