Yes, but what difference will that make for the voting public? Except
for some lotto winners, none will get to go for a decade or three. And
I'm not sure how willing the millionaires will be to have a camera in
their face while they're trying to do the Zero-G-Bop with the trophy
wife...


The market for tickets will certainly be small,

Incredibly small. Let's say ten years from now, 1,000 Americans per
year are going to orbit. That's what, 0.0003% of the public?

but the startups are betting they can make a profit on that market.

And I bet they can, which is why I'm betting my money with them. But to
assume that that profitable yet tiny market will equate to vast and
long-term interest in the public... seems unfounded.
