Another form of travel that will be dangled in your face to tease you but will only ever be available to the very rich within your lifetime.

There is no reason to bring humans out in space as robots can do all the exploration and science without problems.
In the future even the space mining will be handled by AI and remote controlled stations.

Space tourism is shit waste of energey and I hope it will explode (literally) very soon.

Agree with all of this, but just adding that maybe after a few centuries of actually valuable work in space, the energy problem will be less of a factor and the GDP-per-capita will be high enough to justify human spaceflight.

His entire schtick is to sell vapourware to retards who'll suck his dick, just look at how overvalued Tesla is. When his stock goes down, he'll pedal some bullshit product that will never get released. Blue Origin might have a chance, but it depends if Bezos wants to open up his services for anyone that's making less than $500k/year.

Even giving these guys the benefit of the doubt, space travel isn't cheap right now and there would have to be a lot of technical advancement to make to common enough to where the price could be driven down by any market forces. That or you'd have to subsidize the hell out of it, which doesn't seem likely for something that wouldn't really see much return.

>Spaceflight
Will be continue to be primarily for scientific, communications, and some military purposes in this century
>space tourism
Mostly a sideshow, its not going to greatly spur development or make space travel a common occurrence.
