Pete Davidson Set To Travel To Space After He And Kim’s Dinner With Jeff Bezos

Pete Davidson, Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend, will travel to space on billionaire Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin spacecraft.

The “Saturday Night Live” star will be one of six passengers on Bezos’ Blue Origin spacecraft’s next launch. The flight will take place on March 23, according to the firm, which announced it on Monday, March 14.

Passengers on Blue Origin flights will experience weightlessness for a few minutes before the capsule parachutes and settles in the West Texas desert. The ticket price for paying clients has not been revealed by the corporation.

Pete Davidson will be the third celebrity to fly on a Blue Origin spacecraft as a result of the launch. In October, William Shatner took out from West Texas on a 10-minute flight that took him to a height of roughly 66 miles above Earth.

In December, former NFL great and “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan joined astronaut Alan Shepard’s daughter on Blue Origin’s second passenger launch. Last July, Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, embarked on the company’s first passenger trip.

Pete and Kim drove to Bezos’ LA residence for dinner a month ago, with the flight announcement coming a month later.

Other passengers on next week’s voyage include Marty Allen, a CEO and investor; Sharon and Marc Hagle, a teacher and entrepreneur; Jim Kitchen; and George Nield, a former NASA manager who has worked to promote commercial spaceflight.

Marc Hagle is the CEO of Tricor International, a commercial and residential real estate firm. Sharon Hagle, his wife, launched SpaceKids Global, a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring youngsters to pursue careers in space.
