Jeff Bezos, Blue Origin founder and billionaire, was seen taking a tumble in the Texas desert while rushing to greet his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, and the rest of the all-female crew following their successful suborbital spaceflight on Monday.
The Blue Origin rocket blasted off into space on Monday morning while carrying Sanchez, Perry, television host Gayle King, film producer Kerianne Flynn, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen.
In a now-viral video, the 61-year-old billionaire was seen tripping as he rushed to the door of the space capsule carrying his fiancée and her all-female crew, including Katy Perry and Gayle King.
After a roughly 10-minute flight, Bezos and others were seen walking around the space capsule as it rested in the desert in Texas.
Bezos, who was looking through the windows in search of his girlfriend, accidently stepped into a ditch and tumbled into the dirt.
The Amazon founder, however, quickly got back to his feet and continued to the door of the capsule and welcomed Sanchez with his arms wide open to welcome his fiancée, who quickly got down the space pod to embrace him with a hug and a kiss.
The incident sparked a talk online, with netizens joking about the entrepreneur being too excited to see his fiancee. “Jeff Bezos fell while welcoming Blue Origin’s all-female crew — he missed Miss Sanchez so badly,” one user wrote. “Symbolic,” another stated while adding smiling emoticons.
Blue Origin Flight Touchdown
Six women – including the pop star Katy Perry and journalist Gayle King – safely completed a trip to outer space and back on Monday morning on a rocket belonging to Blue Origin space company, owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Blue Origin said that the New Shepard crew reached an altitude of more than 346,000 feet, with the mission in total taking around 10 minutes.
New Shepard is Blue Origin’s full reusable, suborbital rocket system built for human flight from the beginning.
