SNL star Pete Davidson will no longer fly to space after launch heldup

Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson isn't going to be on Blue Origin's coming space flight after the company pushed back the launch date by six days.

The launch of the Jeff Bezos- possessed company's rocket firstly set for March 23 is now slated to fly on March 29, the company said in a tweet late Thursday.

"Blue Origin's 20th flight of New Shepard has shifted to Tuesday, March 29. Pete Davidson is no longer suitable to join the NS-20 crew on this charge. We'll advertise the sixth crew member in the coming days,"the tweet said.

Five paying guests are set to go on the flight. They include Marty Allen, an investor and the former CEO of a party force store; Jim Kitchen, an entrepreneur and business professor; George Nield, a former associate director for the Federal Aviation Administration Office of Commercial Space Transportation; Marc Hagle, an Orlando real estate inventor and his woman, Sharon Hagle, who innovated a space- concentrated nonprofit.

After times of quiet development, Blue Origin's space tourism rocket made its crewed launch debut last time with Bezos, flying alongside a heroine of the space community, Wally Funk, his family Mark Bezos and a paying client.

Since also, Blue Origin has been making captions for flying other well- known names on two posterior breakouts, including Star Trek star William Shatner and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan.

Blue Origin's thing is to make these suborbital spaceflights a dependence of pop culture, giving a 10- nanosecond supersonic joy lift to ate guests — which therefore far have substantially been celebrities — and anyone differently who can go it.
