"It used to cost $35 million (£28 million) to send one person up on a Soyuz rocket. Today, Virgin Galactic hopes to get space tourists into space for something like $250,000 (£200,000), Goldman says." This made me wince. Suborbital is not anywhere near the cost of orbital vehicles. Although the cost HAS gone down. A SpaceX Dragon 2 costs about $70M with a crew of up to 7 reducing the cost to $10M a head. (When they start manned flights.) But this isn't 3 orders of magnitude =/
