Streamer Kai Cenat has revealed that he cancelled a highly anticipated livestream from space after learning about the risks involved. Speaking in comments, Cenat said he ultimately decided not to move forward with the project because it carried what he described as a “3% chance of dying.”
The 22-year-old Twitch star, who is among the platform’s most followed creators, explained that while the concept of broadcasting from space excited him and his audience, the potential dangers outweighed the rewards. “Some risks aren’t worth the views,” he reportedly said, emphasizing that his safety and well-being had to come first.
Cenat’s decision comes at a time when he has been under intense public scrutiny. In recent months, he has drawn attention for surpassing Ninja to become the second-most followed streamer on Twitch, as well as for a series of viral online debates involving other public figures. Despite his growing influence, Cenat suggested that no level of popularity justifies taking unnecessary life-threatening chances.
The revelation sparked widespread reaction online, with fans divided. Some applauded the streamer for making what they viewed as a responsible and mature choice, while others expressed disappointment that the ambitious project would not move forward. Commentators also noted that the risks involved in commercial space travel remain significant, with experts often warning of the physical and technical uncertainties that accompany such ventures.
Cenat’s remarks highlight the balance many digital creators face between delivering unprecedented content and maintaining personal safety. As he put it, views and viral moments cannot outweigh the risks of potential tragedy.
