Not quite.
Space tourism is becoming a big business. Multiple people are paying upwards of $20 million USD for one, 7-day flight. Companies have HUGE incentives to drive the price down, as is this business. Bigelow Airspace is working to provide habitats for this type of thing. Although I question if this exact company is fully legitimate, there are many, MANY companies out there vying to help this industry.
The investment dollars are there. It's just a matter of time, and governments getting the heck out of the way of the industry (after all, the governments aren't willing to put up the cash like the businesses are).
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
