The market will be based off of how many trips to space people want to take. Due to this being newly developed, the marketing and research team have conducted a lot of surveys and focus groups to make sure this is something people would be interested in. The market for this should grow in an uphill slope rate, once people are able to try it out. Word of mouth advertisement and safety facts are good ways Boeing and Private Enterprise will be able to find new consumers to market their space craft to.
