The MIX Mornings team now has a new claim to fame. They have floated in zero gravity…in outer space!
“We befriended UNC Professor Jim Kitchen before his trip to space,” explained WRAL-FM Morning Show Personality Kyle Smelser. “We knew he was taking his passport to space so we asked him to include a picture of us in it…. when he got to space he released our picture in the Blue Origin!”
In a voicemail Kitchen left for Smelser, he told them when he opened his passport, their photo actually fell out and floated. They have a viral video as proof:
WRAL-TV Anchors Lena Tillet and Julian Grace chatted with Lord and Smelser about the adventure on the WRAL Morning News:

- WRAL.com: MIX Mornings crew seen ‘floating through space’ in viral video
UNC Professor Jim Kitchen left a voicemail for WRAL-FM’s Kyle Smelser about taking the MIX Mornings team photo to space. This is the photo of the MIX Morning team (l to r: Bryan Lord, Sarah King & Kyle Smelser) that UNC Profession Jim Kitchen took in his passport to space on Thursday, March 31, 2022.
