Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson will actually go to space this month instead of just pretending to on live television. Space tourism venture Blue Origin announced the latest crew<\/a> to head to the edge of space on the company\u2019s New Shepard rocket, and as rumored<\/a>, Davidson is the latest celebrity guest to join the crew\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n

This will be Blue Shepard\u2019s fourth time sending a crew of people to space and back. The latest flight, set for March 23rd, will carry a group of six. On board with Davidson will be angel investor and former CEO of Party America Marty Allen, as well as husband and wife duo Marc and Sharon Hagle. Marc Hagle is the CEO of Tricor International, while Sharon Hagle founded a non-profit called SpaceKids Global, which works with Blue Origin\u2019s Club for the Future. Entrepreneur Jim Kitchen is also on the flight, as well as George Nield, the former associate administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration\u2019s Commercial Space Transportation office.<\/p>\n
