at current levels space travels is risky, high cost and prestige. except for couple of private space tourists in last couple of years, everyone else was chosen by governments, predominantly fighter pilots. billionaires will be going to space more often than commoners in this and possibly next decade. I liked Gattaca but believe more in The Expanse kind of future colonisation of solar system.
