"On June 21, 2004 Mike Melvill became the first civilian to
pilot a craft into space. Built by Burt Rutan and financed
by Paul Allen, SpaceShipOne made history as the first
manned, private spaceship. SPACE.com's coverage of the
effort, from design to launch and a tense touchdown"

commercial space flight has always been possible, even
before spaceships existed, thats because its just an idea.

20mill to get to MIR and this recent SpaceShipOne doesn't
really count as "commercial space flight". kthxbye

why would you go out there?

why spend all the ridiculous amounts of money to be able to
slowly go a bit further into a vacuum? ridiculous amounts of
money that could be better used down here, on this planet?

yeah, they are.
$100,000 for a chance to experience the disorienting, vomit
inducing fun that is weightlessness? fuck that. theres
better things to spend the money on, like, i don't know,
problems that exist on earth.
