It has been revealed that the ‘Saturday Night Live Star’ is about signing a deal to join Jeff Bezos on a Blue Origin flight. Pete Davidson, 28, and his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian were seen at the billionaire’s compound in Los Angeles in January, as they arrived for a dinner with Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, his long-time love.

The source further stated that although it’s not yet known when Davidson will be making his trip to space, it will likely be later this year. Davidson’s doofus character, Chad returned to ‘SNL’ as a Mars colonist on the episode hosted by SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, last May.
In the episode, Musk, playing himself, rushes to mission control when a trip to Mars goes very wrong. The crew now needs someone to save them, and we see how a hero emerges in Chad. Musk further thanked Chad for making the ultimate sacrifice but warns that he won’t survive the mission.
Bezos made his first trip into space last July on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. He was accompanied by Mark, his brother, Wally Funk, the pioneering aviator, and 18-year-old Oliver Daeman, a student from the Netherlands. Bezos, in October, sent ‘Star Trek’ icon, William Shatner, 90, into space – complete with a box of his own childhood ‘Star Trek’ toys.
Fans have said that there is only one person who’d be waiting for Pete Davidson to come back to Earth, his girlfriend Kim Kardashian. It has also been said that if Pete Davidson does take the trip, he will follow the steps of celebrities like Michael Strahan and William Shatner, who had taken part in a Blue Origin Mission.
Blue Origin’s suborbital flights reach more than 62 miles above Earth, which is widely considered to be the edge of outer space and Bezos hopes that these flights will help begin a new era of tourism.
