Pete Davidson will no longer be on Blue Origin’s next space flight. The Saturday Night Live star was a headliner of the upcoming New Shephard launch. Instead of taking place this week, it will now occur on March 29th. Blue Origin tweeted about the launch getting pushed on Twitter, but then had to include the bad news about the comedian. It’s been a whirlwind couple of months for the SNL star as he’s been dating Kim Kardashian and been stalked by Kanye West. Escaping to space might have provided a bit of respite from all the Internet drama. Now, the Jeff Bezos-backed company will have to find someone else to be a part of the crew. It seems like there will be another celebrity to fill that seat. (Or maybe just a rich person seeing as how that sizable price tag pretty much eliminates the possibility of a normal person getting up there.)
Blue Origin’s 20th flight of New Shepard has shifted to Tuesday, March 29. Pete Davidson is no longer able to join the NS-20 crew on this mission. We will announce the sixth crew member in the coming days.
