      20 or 25 yrs ago,when paying space tourism began, it was billionaires paying $ 20 million for a a trip to the ISS . now20 yrs later,in 1 generation or under, the price has gone down by a factor of almost 100 , and now its millionaires yes who pay around $ 250 K , with a deposit of about $ 20, 000 .and it must be said in range of your avg middle class person earning say $ 50 or $ 60 000 / yr or more ,if they really want to go .I heard about a retired school teacher who has been saving for the past x number of yrs and has paid for a ticket . so its not impossible for someone middle class ,almost your avg person, to go..

      and with the ever advances in technology both space planes and or hypersonic technology being developed thats only a matter of time,for space planes,which will be suborbital or to start anyway ,New York to Tokyo in 90 mins .. I couldnt guess price but even with just a ten fold reduction, not 100 , in say 10 yrs time , that puts the price range at around $ 20 grand. . and in 20 yrs given that 100 fold reduction in cost already , space or sub orbital travel would be about $ 2, 000 ,or $ 2500
