Blue Origin announced earlier this week that Davidson would be one of six passengers on the company’s flight next Wednesday from West Texas. The flight has been moved to March 29, 2022, to allow for more testing. Davidson would have been the third celebrity to climb aboard a Blue Origin capsule for a 10-minute flight.
