Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin is set to launch its next space tourist flight to send six people on a suborbital launch from West Texas. 

Known as NS-20, the mission will launch at 9:10 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT) on March 31, 2022, on a New Shepard rocket from Blue Origin’s Launch Site One situated near Van Horn, Texas. 

The mission will mark the aerospace company’s fourth crewed flight and the second to carry a crew of six people. 

Passengers onboard include businessman Marty Allen, philanthropic duo Sharon Hagle and Marc Hagle, Gary Lai, George Neild and educator and entrepreneur Jim Kitchen.

George Neild, the president of Commercial Space Technologies, LLC, is an aviation veteran who has previously served as an associate administrator for the Federal Aviation Administration’s Office of Commercial Space Transportation and a manager of the Flight Integration Office for the space shuttle program of NASA.

On the other hand, Gary Lai is the chief architect of the New Shepard vehicle. Lai took over SNL star Pete Davidson‘s seat after the latter backed out when the launch date was delayed.

Blue Origin has not revealed how much a space trip aboard the Blue Origin costs. However, an auction for one of the seats for the company’s inaugural human spaceflight in July fetched $28 million. The anonymous auction winner couldn’t make it due to a schedule conflict and 18-year-old Oliver Daemen, whose father had won a ticket for him on a future flight in the auction, instead flew in their place.
