Re: Space tourism?
I don't ever expect it to cost a few hundreds , or even thousands, given basic costs of fuel and equipment.
But if capsules and rockets can start to be made in hundreds rather than single units, and if they can be reused hundreds of times (more like a modern airliner than a traditional rocket), and if capacity could be increased to say 20-50 people per flight, then costs could probably fall into tens of thousands per person.
Still prohibitive for most people but something that the middle class can aspire to as a one-off after a lot of saving, just as now happens for a Maldives honeymoon or round-the-world cruise
