I can't wait to travel to outer space... When will we see commercial space travel for the masses?

I can hardly wait!!

Oops, seems like you're running a bit late. Or maybe your timing is just right as things are just unfolding... But "for the masses" I bet it's still mostly unrealistic. In any case, it's good to be informed and start the necessary preparations ;)

I would guess within ten years we'll see suborbital flights. I'm sure they'll be pricy, though.

There are a few companies working on that project right now. You should be able to find them on the web. Some were competing for the X prize, I believe. Try www.xprize.org

I hope you are young and have time to wait, or extremely rich.
You can go now with NASA, for a few million dollars.
For the cheap flights, you'll have to wait..

As soon as politicians get rid of NASA, we'll see quite a bit more activity in this area.

Suborbital flights should start in a couple of years. I hope cheap(er) orbital flight will follow, but don't count on it any time soon. Expensive orbital flight is already here, with several people visiting the space station for $20 million.

There is going to have to be a pretty good reason for a lot of people to travel in space before it becomes affordable for anyone but the very rich. If for example it became more feasible to have manufacturing done on stations in orbit or on the moon, you would start to see commuter service from earth to those destinations and back.

As demand grew technology would improve and allow for less expensive travel.

It would be great if that would happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

Commercial flights to space are a huge waste of energy. We should establish a colony on the moon, breed the next space generation there and move to the asteroids and do the same thing, always moving out.
