Thanks to the surge of celebrity interest in Bezo's commercial space venture, Davidson will actually be the third SNL alum to join a Blue Origin flight.

New Glenn’s next flight is scheduled for takeoff at some point in the fourth quarter of 2022. Not all Blue Origin passengers have had to pay, so it's possible Davidson may have secured a better deal. Given that Davidson’s net worth is estimated to be around $8 million, it’s likely this will be more appropriate for his budget range. Bezos has said in earlier interviews that a seat on Blue Origin’s New Shepard would likely be in the same ballpark. A Blue Origin rocket experienced a 'booster failure' during an uncrewed launch of its New Shepard rocket from West Texas on Monday morning, triggering an abort system that allowed the capsule to. The cost of upcoming suborbital flights through Richard Branson’s commercial flight company, Virgin Galactic, is a far more frugal $400,000. But the actual price of a seat is most likely far less. Blue Origin is still at T-9 minutes, 59 seconds and holding as flight controllers check the rocket's systems and weather conditions for today's launch. The winner, Justin Sun, CEO of blockchain platform Tron, later had to give up his seat because of “scheduling conflicts” (luckily he was able to reschedule the once-in-a-lifetime experience for another date). The winning bid in a public auction for a seat on the very first Blue Origin flight was $28 million. How much is Davidson’s journey into the edge of space going to cost? Blue Origin has been notoriously tight-lipped about the price of seats on its future flights. So far, all Blue Origin has said is that an. According to Page Six’s source, Davidson “got on really well” with Bezos. This marks the first time ever that Blue Origin has encountered a problem with the New Shepard spacecraft during a flight, in nearly two dozen missions. This mission is the fourth human flight for the New Shepard program and the 20th in its history. In fact, Davidson and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian dined with Jeff Bezos and his partner Lauren Sanchez earlier this year. March 14 Blue Origin today announced the crew flying on its upcoming NS-20 flight on March 23 will include Marty Allen, Pete Davidson, husband and wife duo Sharon and Marc Hagle, Jim Kitchen, and Dr. It’s unlikely the 28-year old’s desire to be launched into space at the cost of $2.5 million per minute just appeared out of nowhere. A source close to Davidson said that while he had yet to sign an official contract, details are currently being finalized. The Jeff Bezos-owned commercial space travel company has successfully launched three crewed spaceflights over the past year. SNL comic Pete Davidson, who once played an astronaut on a sketch with Elon Musk, may be a passenger on an upcoming Blue Origin flight, reported Page Six.
