NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- From Staten Island… to space! Pete Davidson will be among the passengers on the fourth human spaceflight by Jeff Bezo’s Blue Origin next week.
The “Saturday Night Live” star will take off from Launch Site One in West Texas at 9:30 a.m. ET on March 23, Blue Origin announced Monday. The flight will be livestreamed.
Davidson, 28, will be joined by Party America CEO Marty Allen, husband and wife duo Sharon and Marc Hagle, entrepreneur Jim Kitchen, and Commercial Space Technologies President Dr. George Nield.
Each astronaut aboard the flight will carry a postcard to space on behalf of Blue Origin’s foundation, Club for the Future, whose Postcards to Space program gives students access to space on Blue Origin’s rockets, the company said.
“Star Trek” actor William Shatner, 90, became the oldest person in space when he launched on a Blue Origin rocket in October. And in December, NFL Hall of Famer Michael Strahan took part in a Blue Origin spaceflight.
