AceShowbiz - In an unexpected twist after the successful Blue Origin spaceflight that saw Lauren Sanchez and her all-women crew travel to the edge of space, Jeff Bezos became the star of a different kind of viral moment.
The Amazon founder and Blue Origin boss was seen face-planting outside the Blue Origin capsule after stepping into a small ditch, creating a humorous scene that didn't go unnoticed by netizens.
Bezos, 61, known for his ventures in technology and space exploration, momentarily lost his balance during the live broadcast. His clumsy dive into the dirt, which he quickly corrected by catching himself in a push-up position, became the talk of the internet.
As one social media user humorously put it, "Bezos was so excited to hug his fiancée post-landing, he tripped and hit the ground. Billionaire moves - grace not included."
Despite the minor fall, Bezos greeted Sánchez with a massive bear hug once she and her team safely landed. The space expedition, which included notable names like singer Katy Perry, TV anchor Gayle King, rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, and film producer Kerianne Flynn, was not only historic but also a celebration of women in STEM.
Before takeoff, Bezos shared some heartfelt words of encouragement with his fiancée and her team, saying, "I'm so excited for you. I don't want to get off. I want to go with you. When you get back, I can't wait to hear how it's changed you. I love all of you. See you soon. Godspeed."
Other celebrities were present to witness this momentous occasion, including Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, and Perry's fiance Orlando Bloom and their daughter, Daisy.
As Sanchez and her team made history and brought attention to women's achievements, Bezos' unexpected fall added a touch of humor to the monumental day. "That's why he sent the women first," joked one observer on X.
