Scientific research is not the objective of higher volume space tourism as planned by Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic and others. Virgin apparently sold over 700 tickets at $200K or more each for suborbital flights. Tourism to ISS is temporarily suspended due to Soyuz being the only spacecraft able to transport the astronauts and cosmonauts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tourism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tourism
