However, Bezos quickly got back up and continued to make his way to the door of the capsule. He went on to open up the latch, allowing Sanchez and her fellow space travellers to come out. The Blue Origin founder stood outside with his arms wide open to welcome his fiancee, who quickly got down the space pod to embrace him.

The mishap sparked a buzz online, with netizens joking about the entrepreneur being too excited to see his fiancee. “Bezos was so excited to hug his fiancée post-landing, he tripped and hit the ground. Billionaire moves—grace not included,” an X user wrote. “His workouts apparently don’t include balance training,” another quipped.

One more user joked, “To his credit, he got back up fast as hell,” while another added, “To his credit, he got back up fast as hell.” “In his defense, he stepped in a big hole. It happens. Glad he didn’t break anything,” yet another user wrote in Bezos’ defence.
