Pete Davidson not going to space after all

Plot twist: American comedian and actor Pete Davidson isn't going to space next week after all.

The 28-year-old star of Saturday Night Live is "no longer able to join the NS-20 crew on this mission," Blue Origin said in an announcement late Thursday.

The space company owned by Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos did not elaborate on reasons for Davidson's withdrawal from the trip, which had been planned for 23 March. The trip is an 11-minute jaunt aboard a New Shepard suborbital rocket from the West Texas desert to just beyond the atmosphere, and back again.

The mission itself has now been pushed back six days to 29 March, and Blue Origin said it would announce a new sixth member of the crew soon.
