Saturday morning, aerospace company Blue Origin is slated to conduct its fifth tourist flight, sending a crew of six to the edge of space and back out of West Texas. Once again, it\u2019s a flight without any major celebrities on board, as the company transitions into making these quick jaunts to space relatively routine.<\/p>\n

The flight, called NS-21, comes just two months after Blue Origin\u2019s last tourist trip on March 31st. That mission sent up five paying customers and one company employee \u2014 the first time no big names flew. The Blue Origin employee was actually a last-minute replacement<\/a> for comedian and actor Pete Davidson, who was originally slated to fly but had to drop out due to scheduling issues when the mission was delayed. Prior to that flight, Blue Origin made a point to have at least one celebrity on board its flights, including GMA<\/em> anchor Michael Strahan, Star Trek<\/em> star William Shatner, legendary aviator Wally Funk, and, famously, the company\u2019s founder, Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n

There are no household names on this flight, but there are a few notable flyers on this trip. Evan Dick, an engineer and investor, is becoming Blue Origin\u2019s first repeat flyer, having already flown to space on the company\u2019s third crewed mission. And Katya Echazarreta, a STEM communicator and YouTube host, will become the first Mexican-born woman to fly to space. Her seat on the flight is sponsored by Space for Humanity, a nonprofit that aims to expand \u201caccess to space for all of humanity\u201d by funding tickets on Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic flights for those who might not otherwise be able to afford them.<\/p>\n
