Pete Davidson Isn’t Going To Space Next Week After All

Sadly, Pete Davidson won’t be able to say, “Wow, this might be the highest I’ve ever been!“, from space any time soon. Pete was scheduled to blast into space next Wednesday on one of his new friend Jeff Bezos’ dildo-shaped Blue Origin rockets. But the blast-off was rescheduled from March 23 to later in the month. The bad news for Pete is that this new scheduling conflict will prevent him from being on board.

Pete was supposed to go into space with Party America CEO Marty Allen, real estate moguls Sharon and Marc Hagle, entrepreneur Jim Kitchen, and Commercial Space Technologies President Dr. George Nield. Just another one of your standard “Rich people doing rich people shit” situations. They’re going to have to find another rich person though because Pete can’t make the four-minute flight. NBC News reports that Blue Origin had to thumb through their day planner and pick a new date, and they landed on Tuesday, March 29, which Pete can’t make.

“Pete Davidson is no longer able to join the NS-20 crew on this mission,” a company spokesperson said in a written statement. “We will announce the sixth crew member in the coming days.”

Saturday Night Live is probably not the reason why Pete can’t make the flight since they haven’t announced when their next new episode is. But Pete is currently filming a movie called The Home, so that may be the reason why he can’t visit E.T.’s home this month.

The flight on the 29th will be the fourth human flight for Jeff’s New Shepard program, and the 20th overall. It’s not known who will take Pete’s place, but I’m guessing it’ll be another famous person since Blue Origin is always thirsty for easy PR. And because of that, I wouldn’t be too surprised if they asked Pete’s nemesis Kanye West to take his place. But then again, it might be impossible for the rocket to take off while carrying the weight of Kanye’s ego.
