The cost to orbit drops being talked about are going to put space tourism solidly within reach of the middle class.

At that point the market becomes basically infinite: it'll be a standard rite of passage to see Earth from space, much like how people go to Disneyland.

It'll be like skydiving or visiting Everest basecamp or Antarctica.

Maybe soon you'll pop open the window on one of these new suborbital flights and skydive from the black back to Earth!

Tourism is the least exciting value proposition to me. Industry and commercial activity is where it's at.
