Which is a damn travesty when people won't throw money at space in real-life. Other than a few huge backers (Musk, Branson) that have loads of money to hinge on this stuff, no one seems to care or pay attention.
It means I get to fly in space. Whether a 30 million, 30 billion, or 30 trillion dollars were to be invested into real life space research, there's about a 0% chance that it will let me fly in space.
That said, the more interest there is in space in concept, the more popular it might be to fund actual space flight research in reality.
