When will space tourism take off?

Virgin Galactic. Although why the news are suddenly reporting this as new is a bit odd. It was first announced back in 1999 - http://www.gsreport.com/articles/art000153.html

I think it is going to be about 20 years from now.

Within what time period do you anticipate the beginning of space tourism, i.e. easy access to at least the established boundary of space on a large scale?

 

Do you know what the difference between a missile and an aeroplane is?

 

The WINGS!

 

We are taking rides on Missiles. When a missile looses its forward trust, it will fall straight downward. But when an aeroplane looses its trust, it will glide downward and crash few kilometres away. That is the difference between an aeroplane and a missile made by the wings.

 

And when it comes to space travel, we truly ride on a missile.
