Stuff similar to what the X-Prize people used, I guess. The impression I'm getting here is that Wisconsin wants to get a leg up on this space tourism business. I do know that the winner of the X-Prize wants to open up such a business. Last I heard, he's already booking reservations for $200,000 a seat, which is well within the range of a lot of rich people. It's only a trip up into space and then back down (it doesn't even circle the earth), but it's a start. If it turns out to be profitable, it could quite possibly expand to orbital flights and beyond.
