It seems Pete Davidson, who garnered the nickname ‘Skete’ from his ‘eskimo brother’ Kanye West, will leave his recent troubles in his newfound love affair with Kim Kardashian behind when he shoots to space with billionaire Jeff Bezos next week.

The Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedian is, according to AFP, the only non-paying passenger aboard Blue Origin’s flight, which is expected to lift off on Wednesday 23 March 2022 at 15:30 CAT.
Davidson will be joined by CEO and angel investor Marty Allen, Sharon Hagle, founder of the non-profit SpaceKids Global, and her husband, Marc, who currently serves as CEO of Tricor International, a residential and commercial property development corporation.
Skete’s other crewmates are:
- Jim Kitchen (teacher, entrepreneur, and world explorer); and
- Dr George Nield (president of Commercial Space Technologies)
Each astronaut on board NS-20 will carry a postcard to space on behalf of Blue Origin’s foundation, Club for the Future, whose Postcards to Space program gives students access to space on Blue Origin’s rockets. The Club’s mission is to inspire future generations to pursue careers in STEM for the benefit of Earth,” the Blue Origins presser read.
For Davidson, a voyage out of our atmosphere will serve as the much-needed reprieve from the constant bickering he has endured with Mr West.
This past weekend, following a rant from the Yeezy rap-fashion billionaire, Davidson lambasted Kim’s soon-to-be ex-husband in a series of text messages, where he bragged about being in bed with West’s ‘wife’ and taunted the Jesus Walks star about helping him get treated for his mental illness.

Of course, this was not received well by Ye who, in response, blasted Davidson for gaslighting him and playing into the hands of greater forces working to diminish his role as a father in his children’s lives.
