What does it cost to go into orbit now? How much will SpaceX and its competitors drive down the price? An orbital hotel will not be cheap, either.

The Economics of Orbital Sightseeing
I was watching a YouTube video of relaxing music with video from the ISS. My, it is beautiful and inspiring. I suspect in 40 years, spaceflight will be cheap enough for mildly wealthy people to spend a few days in orbit enjoying the view. I do not mean Tahiti vacation affordable, but a once in a lifetime trip, the memories of which you will always treasure. Unfortunately, by the time I can afford it, I will be likely 20 years beyond the urn.

I don't think it will be cheap until/unless we figure out how to build A. Clarke's space elevator
