As you say, it will likely become like airlines. With competition, it might become possible for civilians to visit space in the distant future.

I'm imagining a podcast in 200 years where people discuss how weird it is that the popular airliner started off as a bookstore in it's early origins

That's a trip to think about. You could say the same thing about the largest smartphone software producer, it started out as a search website.

Nice example! I love finding out the weird origins of massive companies xD
