Default Will the investment flood happen?

Or do you think most
investors will wait until the X-Prize competitors actually start turning
profits?

Investors won't be watching for profits, too many variables go into the
profit equation.
They'll be watching for proof of suborb systems reliability. Then they can
apply their own expertise toward the profit scenario. FEDEX would love a suborb
package deliverer, something quite different from suborb tourism.
All it'll take is a reliable system and then the suborb investment dam will
break.
