The whole point of this is stepping into a new domain of technology and humanity where what this man is doing will one day become as accessible as flying around the world is today. And more importantly, the risk:reward of failure involving Elon is bad. Right now he's managed to spark a number of competitors such as Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic, but these companies have yet to achieve much of anything and it's not out of the question to consider that if Elon died tomorrow, we might enter into another 50 years of space stagnation. Contrast that against the pleasure gained from a space voyage and it's just a bad risk:reward ratio, even when the risk is mostly negligible.
