Abstract This paper discusses the future of commercial passenger space transportation from multiple viewpoints — technical, financial, organisational and political — as well as economic policy, legal and social considerations. It argues that passenger space travel offers the opportunity for launch services to grow into a profitable commercial industry, with potential to grow to a very large scale, like passenger air travel. However, addressing this new market requires collaboration between space and aviation interests — which the space industry has resisted to date. At a time of record levels of unemployment in many countries both rich and poor, it is both economically and socially desirable that this resistance is overcome and this popular new service be developed as soon as possible.
