Davidson, who's become a pillar of entertainment intrigue amid his relationship with Kim Kardashian, is unable to make the flight due to a change in the dates.
HOUSTON --"SNL" star and Staten Island native Pete Davidson will no longer be on board the next Blue Origin flight to space.
Since then, Blue Origin has been making headlines for flying other well-known names on two subsequent flights, including Star Trek star William Shatner and Good Morning America host Michael Strahan.3... 2.... 1... blast off! William Shatner, 90, is now the oldest person to travel to space. Re-watch the launch and landing.
The crew will spend a few days training at Blue Origin's facilities in West Texas before the flight day, when they'll climb into the New Shepard crew capsule that sits atop the rocket. After liftoff, the rocket will tear past the speed of sound, and near the top of its flight path, will detach from the capsule.
Because the flights are suborbital - meaning the don't generate enough speed or take the right trajectory to avoid being immediately dragged back down by Earth's gravity - the whole show will last only about 10 minutes.
