Blue Origin has taken familiar faces and people known in their fields to space before. One of the passengers was supposed to be SNL's Pete Davidson. That won't be happening. Davidson will not join the mission as a crew member. Blue Origin didn't reveal the reason why he's no longer flying with the rest of the crew to the edge of space and only said that the mission will launch on March 29th. It is not clear if conflict of schedule was the reason why Blue Origin changed its lineup. It is not known if Davidson will join another Blue Origin flight later on. SpaceKids Global founder Sharon Hagle, her husband, and University of North Carolina professor Jim Kitchen, as well as Dr. George C. Nield, a former CEO of Party America, are among the other passengers for the mission. Blue Origin will announce Davidson's replacement in the coming days. Blue Origin's 20th flight of New Shepard has shifted to Tuesday, March 29. Pete Davidson is no longer able to join the NS-20 crew on this mission. We will announce the sixth crew member in the coming days.
