‘Blue Origin’s 20th flight of New Shepard has shifted to Tuesday, March 29,’ the tweet began. 

‘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,’ they concluded.

The tweet lead to a number of responses, including one from actor Kal Penn, who simply sent a, ‘Happy man raising one hand’ emoji, seemingly volunteering to take Davidson’s place.

NS-20  will be the New Shepard shuttle’s 20th launch of the private space company, and the fourth with human passengers.

The comedian was announced as one of the six passengers on NS-20 along with Party America CEO Marty Allen, philanthropist and real estate mogul Marc Hagle, his wife, Sharon Hagle, University of North Carolina professor Jim Kitchen and Dr. George Nield, president of Commercial Space Technologies. 

The reason for Davidson’s departure was not made immediately clear, but it does come as the strife surrounding him and girlfriend Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband Kanye West has been intensifying.
