I'm still not sure that commercial spaceflights for the public will be a reality in my lifetime. The tecnology is there, if Nasa can build shuttles, so can others. But the money for it, and the comercial viability ...??

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
I don't believe that SpaceX or Blue Origin have any interest in providing Disney type E-ticket rides. Virgin Galactic is into that approach and quite frankly what they hope to get out of it escapes me.
On another note: One of the last return missions some 5 year old "Scotch" aged in space was brought back and given a taste test. Now if "space ageing" produces a superior Scotch then I would be interested in investing in orbiting distilleries. That would make perfectly good sense from a profit and end user/consumer perspective.
