Is this grandson going to heaven?

Sun Yuchen's space journey is less about "fulfilling dreams" and more about a marketing show that welds personal IP and commercial hype outside the atmosphere.

From the perspective of space travel itself, the suborbital flight of the "New Shepard" is essentially a "space check-in tour"—a short trip out of the atmosphere and back, more like an expensive "upgraded bungee jump," far from true space exploration. However, this does not prevent it from becoming a top-tier traffic tool: the label of "the youngest Chinese commercial astronaut" precisely hits the itch of the attention economy, turning the act of "going to space" into the most dazzling "gold-plated item" in personal resumes.

To go deeper, this is more like a "elevation technique" in the cryptocurrency circle. The industry where Sun Yuchen is located has always been driven by concepts and popularity, from auctioning a lunch with Buffett to now going to space, the tactics are quite similar: using extreme topicality to hedge against the controversies of the industry itself – after all, compared to the regulatory risks and price bubbles of cryptocurrencies, the "space dream" can clearly harvest more positive attention.

As for "promoting commercial space travel"? I’m afraid that’s not the case. The essence of this journey is that capital bought a "space ticket" for individual IPs with money. Rather than being a testament to technological progress, it’s more like a carefully designed frenzy for traffic. After all, those who can afford a ten million dollar "space ticket" have never been ordinary people; and true breakthroughs in space exploration have never been achieved through "check-in style flights."
