Everybody doesn't have a spaceship in their yard. Yes, space travel lines will begin flying in 2010 or 2011 after NASA awards a new type of spaceship development contract that allows the winning company to own the spaceships it develops. NASA plans to be the first customer, buying tickets to take its astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). The tickets will be very expensive at first, about $5 million per seat. By 2020, the price may drop to $1 million and below.
