Pete Davidson Drops Out of Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin Space Flight

A source with direct knowledge tells us that Pete was not able to accommodate the new launch date with his schedule.

Pete Davidson won't be going to space, at least not during Blue Origin's next trip, after the launch date was pushed back.

The 20th flight of New Shepard has been shifted to Tuesday, March 29 according to Jeff Bezos. Pete Davidson couldn't join the crew on this mission. The sixth crew member will be announced in the coming days.

The launch date was supposed to be less than a week away.

Pete has been working on various projects, including James DeMonaco's "The Home", in which he was spotted covered in blood. It is possible that one of them got in the way.

Party America CEO Marty Allen, wife and husband duo Sharon and Marc Hagle,entrepreneur Jim Kitchen and Commercial Space Technologies Prez Dr. George Nield were among the passengers who were scheduled to go up with Pete.

We got pictures of Pete and Kim grabbing In-N-Out in L.A., so it appears that there is no such thing as a space diet.
