- the costs for space tourism will surely become less in upcoming 20 years but it is nowhere near to become affordable to general public. reaching beyond the karman line is considered space tour, as space begins from the karman line (it is an hypothetical line at an altitude of 100km) so currently the price for space tour is around $250,000 which will take the tourist upto 80km altitude, but as mentioned, space begins from karman line that is at 100km altitude so that should not be considered as a space tour. and the organisations that take the tourist upto the karman line are charging $350,000 or more, which is definitely not affordable. fuel capacity of the rocket is a limitation to how far we can go in space. for space travel to become vast (not just limited to karman line) and affordable, we would need a different method , for example, the fusion rockets that binds hydrogen and converts it into fuel, so that it has infinite fuel in space.We would definitely need more than 2 decades for that, so space tourism will not be affordable in upcoming 20 years, but with I.S.R.O, NASA , spacex and others, space travel will definitely become affordable one day.
