Pete Davidson could be jetting out of this world soon as he nears an agreement to accompany Jeff Bezos into space.

The 28-year-old Saturday Night Live star is currently in negotiations to board a Blue Origin flight with the 58-year-old Amazon founder to spend a little over 10 minutes at 100km above the Earth’s surface, according to Page Six.

‘Pete is excited,’ a source close to the comedian told the publication, though they noted that it’s not quite a done deal.

‘They haven’t signed a contract yet, but it looks like it’s going to happen. The details are being finalized,’ they continued.

Davidson previously had a chance to get close to the billionaire in late January, when he and his girlfriend Kim Kardashian joined the space tourism leader at his $175 million mansion in Los Angeles.

The source added that the comic ‘got on really well’ with Bezos during their dinner party.

As the details haven’t been finalized, it’s unknown when exactly he might fly into space, but the source said Blue Origin is eyeing a launch sometime this year.

Bezos’ first flew into space back in July 2021 on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket.

Joining him on that initial flight were the pioneering female aviator Wally Funk who became the oldest person to fly into space at age 82.

The billionaire also brought along his brother Mark, as well as the 18-year-old Dutch student Oliver Daemen, who was selected at the last minute after another guest had a scheduling conflict that required them to take a later space flight.
