Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson will actually go to space this month instead of just pretending to on live television.
Space tourism venture Blue Origin announced the latest crew to head to the edge of space on the company’s New Shepard rocket, and as rumored, Davidson is the latest celebrity guest to join the crew’s ranks.
This will be Blue Shepard’s fourth time sending a crew of people to space and back. The latest flight, set for March 23, will carry a group of six.
According to Blue Origin Davidson, is an “honorary guest” on this flight, while every other person on the crew is a paying customer.
He is now part of a growing list of celebrities that Blue Origin has invited onto its flights in an attempt to drum up buzz for these missions.
The company’s most recent celebrity guest was GMA anchor and former football star Michael Strahan, preceded by Star Trek actor William Shatner.
Blue Origin’s first crewed mission famously flew founder Jeff Bezos and legendary female aviator Wally Funk.
