Crypto Billionaire Rides Blue Origin to Space

On August 3rd, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched its New Shepard vehicle on mission NS-34, carrying crypto billionaire Justin Sun and five others to space. Sun, who anonymously won a $28 million auction for a seat in 2021, donated the proceeds to space-focused charities. The diverse crew included a real estate investor, a businessman, a journalist, and entrepreneurs from various countries. The 10-12 minute flight took them above the Kármán line, offering a brief experience of weightlessness.
