Michael Strahan will be the next celebrity to ride a Blue Origin rocket, along with astronaut Alan Shepard's daughter and four paying customers

Liftoff is slated for 9:30 am CT on December 9 from Blue Origin launch facilities near the rural town of Van Horn, Texas.Strahan and Laura Shepard Churchley, whose father Alan Shepard went on a suborbital flight in 1961 and later walked on the moon, will be joined by investors Dylan Taylor, Evan Dick, and Lane Bess, as well as Bess' adult child, Cameron Bess.

Jeff Bezos is going to space on first crewed flight of rocketOrbital rockets need to drum up enough power to hit at least 17,000 miles per hour, or what's known as orbital velocity, essentially giving a spacecraft enough energy to continue whipping around the Earth rather than being dragged immediately back down by gravity. Suborbital flights require far less power and speed.

Why?

Good Bless His Soul Enjoy

Must be nice to be able to afford to go to space. I can't even afford to take a sick day off of work.

I hate it here. 🙄

Why is this breaking news

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Leave him up thr

Talk about privilege it’s not white v black it’s rich v poor

Maybe these millionaires would like to do something good with their money given the world is going to hell in a hand basket

This is a shame! They spend the money on something as silly as this! Yet we have homeless people and people struggling to make ends meet! I wonder how many people you can feed!

I bet the people living paycheck to paycheck laboring under Amazon’s harsh work place conditions are happy that bozos can spend millions on his hobby.

You know going to outer space is costly but a sight to see. But getting a chance to see heaven doesn’t cost anything! Reason i said this is I have something wrong with my heart. It’s major surgery but with all the chaos in the world I want to go home!

Leave him up there please.

The article states Strahan, like Shatner, is an “honorary guest” who did not pay for a ticket. This is all about marketing strategy. Shatner got the company worldwide media exposure for free. Strahan will also, especially on ABC TV network.

Bfd.

Will it be in shape of a penis?

IDGF.

He is going for free too!

Bout to be another 1986..

Why is he going for free?

FORGET STRAHAN. ITS EXTREMELY COOL THAT ALAN SHEPARDS DAUGHTER IS GOING UP

Aliens.....here they come....now's your chance 😝😄

I wonder if he will lie about the ride like he does on his show everyday. gma fakenews

Who gives a shit? Sick of hearing about this crap. Let's try and fix what's broken here in earth.

That’s why the ozone’s so screwed up.

Rich people paying for a space tour....ok thanks for the heads up CNN. YeetTheElite

Should choose one random regular American at some point. Just to make it not boring to hear about.
