For any real space tourism industry to begin making a dent will require at least a few orbits at a comparable price to the $200,000 plane ride.

I doubt it will ever make money. At best, it *could* lead to much more capital investment in order to produce hardware capable of putting lots of people into space; the same thing that happened with air travel, with the obvious proviso that the *trip* is all that can be sold, as there’s no “there” there. :’)

So far.

Thanks kevin.
