Support for a successful formation of general public space travel and tourism enterprises can be made through a variety of ground facilities and activities to explore the latent market demand even before actual in-space trips are available to the public. These facilities may consist of theme parks, trip training facilities and other similar quasi-entertainment facilities that may be developed around future general public space travel and tourism launch. Their primary functions would be to raise public awareness and large amounts of capital for the realization of the purpose.

Marketing focus should be shifted from children and adolescents to average, successful and professional adults. A virtual reality experience of human spaceflight can arouse the general public’s interest for the real thing.
