Within 10 years will people be able to take a luxury trip to space?

I would like to go if this is safe, possible and affordable. Discovery Channel:

“We look to the future — hopefully within 10 years — when ordinary people, for the cost of a luxury cruise, can experience a rocket flight into the black sky above the Earth’s atmosphere, enjoy a few minutes of weightless excitement, then feel the thunderous deceleration of the aerodynamic drag on entry,” Rutan said.

We went on a cruise once and weren’t all that impressed, but I bet space would be really cool, even though movies like Alien freaked me out.

  1. Absolutely unequivocally NO; unless you are willing to spend $20mil, that is. It is very expensive to put anything in space, let alone humans. That’s why only two countries have consistently done it.
