What happened to Jeff Bezos after Blue Origin return?
On April 14, 2025, during the return of Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission, Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder, almost took a tumble headfirst due to a slip in a small trench while approaching the capsule to welcome his fiancée Lauren Sánchez and the all-female crew as they landed near the West Texas site.

Amazon founder Bezos narrowly avoided a fall and swiftly regained his balance, dismissing the mishap casually before warmly welcoming Sánchez. The event was caught on camera in real-time, sparking laughter among social media users who posted memes and comments such as “Billionaire takes a tumble!” referencing the now-famous incident.
The NS-31 expedition included six remarkable women: Lauren Sánchez, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, Gayle King, Kerianne Flynn, and Katy Perry. This quick space voyage, which lasted approximately 10 minutes, soared above the Kármán line and concluded with a graceful parachute descent in the desert.
Before takeoff, Bezos addressed the team saying, “I’m thrilled for you… I can hardly wait to find out how this experience has impacted you” (as reported by Page Six). Simultaneously capturing attention on social media, Sánchez donned a specially designed blue suit during the mission.
At the touchdown location, noteworthy figures like Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, and Daisy (Perry’s daughter) were among the attendees. Even though the journey back was perfect, Bezos’ small slip-up unexpectedly garnered attention as they stepped out of the spacecraft.
It’s been said that Lauren Sánchez faced criticism on social media about her crew’s stylish spacesuits, with certain commentators suggesting she focused too much on fashion. However, this mission achieved a significant milestone as all six team members were officially recognized as astronauts upon crossing the boundary of space.
