it'll be tourism money that drives the first wave, I'm thinking.

Think about it - the most active tourism class are those in their 50's and older. Most multi-millionaires are in their 50's and older. How old were they when the moon landing happened? 10, sitting cross-legged on the floor before the TV, dreaming that someday they'd be able to go into space.
