If we have successfull nuclear fusion which creates energy for almost free and the Kerosin is just used for planes and rockets, then this is possible.

With fusion you can just get hydrogen and oxygen from water for use in the rocket boosters. If the boosters can be landed, refueled and launched again in a day or hours, then space travel in the future may be seen much like how we view air travel today.

I look forward to going coast to coast in less than an hour.

We could see weekends in orbit within the next twenty years. That would be enough to enjoy the view and get bored of having to use a complicated toilet.

Lunar tourism will only take off when they build the swimming pool. https://what-if.xkcd.com/124/
