With the hype still abuzz around Blue Origin's latest celebrity-filled launch, rumors about who will be next are already rife.

With rumors that more A-listers will follow, Jeff Bezos' quest to merge celebrity and space tourism picks up momentum.


Who is being considered for the next space travel?

According to The U.S. Sun, Ivanka Trump is "one of the more likely candidates" to be on the next ride. Considering her connection to Bezos and past interest in space, it's not beyond the realm of possibility.


Despite their best efforts, Gayle King, Lauren Sanchez, and Katy Perry have all heard criticism regarding their contentious flight. Other well-known figures are reportedly waiting to spend 11 minutes in space, though, as per a report by SheKnows.

How close is Ivanka to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez?

According to The U.S. Sun, she has already been invited to Bezos and Sánchez's wedding in June in Venice, Italy, and she has strong ties to them. Her connection to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, as well as her childhood aspiration of going to space, make her a likely candidate.

In 2018, she made a video call from NASA's Mission Control Center to the International Space Station Expedition 56 crew, saying, "You really have my dream job," according to a report. "I've always wanted to travel to space and become an astronaut." "Up there, you are realizing my dream," as per a report by SheKnows.

She could definitely afford the ticket (the $150,000 deposit alone), and it probably wouldn't take much persuasion to get her to sign up.

Given that Bezos acknowledged at the 2024 New York Times' DealBook Summit that his space company was still in its infancy, he would probably be happy with the headlines a Trump family member would produce, as per a report by SheKnows.

He is certain, though, that his space business will surpass Amazon, his other notable success.


Who else could join the next Blue Origin flight?

Although the date of Blue Origin's upcoming space mission is still unknown, The U.S. Sun seems to believe that other celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian might soon join IvankaTrump on board.
