11. Will there be airlines in space? Will space travel become supersonic and commercialized like the Concorde? Or, will all the companies be private? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Spacelines will start operation in 2010 or 2011 to commercially carry NASA astronauts and others to and from the ISS. Very wealthy people also may begin to own their own space vehicles. Even if the new spaceships cost $100 million each, this is less than the price of some very large yachts now bought by wealthy folks.
