Space Travel

You know, the Wright Brothers made their first flight in 1603. By the 1960's flight was pretty much a given. People made commercial flights like it was no big deal, and now they do it all the time. Over the course of 60 years flight went from something that was deemed impossible to something that was pretty ordinary. Space travel has been around for over 50 years now and I want to know when charter space flights will be cheap enough for people to afford on a regular basis! Surely it will happen before I die. I hope so, because I want to go to space, dang it! I understand that it's different because people had placed to go when flight became popular. I mean, if you wanted to fly somewhere, you could go have a legitimate reason to do so. You say, "Hey I need to go to California. Maybe I'll try one of those fancy new chartered flights!" You can't say "Hey I need to go to Mars, maybe I'll go on a chartered space flight." You don't have a reason to go to Mars. Or the moon. It would be fun, but it will be a long time until chartered space flight is a means to an end, rather than the end itself. I have no hope of being a NASA astronaut so the only way to realize my dream of space flight is to hope and pray that it will become affordable to civilians.
