$250,000 is only the initial price, theres nothing stoping this getting tenfold cheaper or more.
Within our lifetime (well, unless your 80 or something), this should be cheap and accessible to all.
It could also make some flights on earth vastely quicker. (ie, for practical travel, not just for the cool factor)
