Space tourism is increasingly in demand. Recently, a crypto tycoon has just been selected for an auction to go to space using Blue Origin, a rocket company owned by one of the world's richest men, Jeff Bezos.
It is Justin Sun, Founder and CEO of blockchain platform Tron as the winner of the auction to fill Blue Origin's first space tourism seat.
Unmitigated, Sun had to spend USD 28 million, which of course was for one round trip.
Sun originally went on a space tour on July 20 along with Jeff Bezos to the suborbital using the New Shepard spacecraft. But that didn't happen.
Now, the latest Sun flight schedule has been set. Quoted, Space, Friday (12/24/2021) the crypto skipper departs next year with five other passengers as a result of his recommendation.
The criteria for space tourism passengers with this crypto tycoon include prominent figures in digital currency, members of the Tron community, technology entrepreneurs, and artists.
"With the rapid development of commercial aerospace, entering the space that may be a dream can be realized by everyone in their life," said Sun.
"We are entering an era of great spaceflight. This journey needs more people to get involved," he added.
Sun was born and raised in China. However, he has played a major role in the Caribbean nation of Grenada, which Grenada recently appointed as a world trade ambassador.
If Sun successfully launches into space and returns to Earth, he will be the first Grenada man, the first international diplomat, and the first blockchain industry leader to undertake space tourism.
