Space Tourism Dream Flounders as Millionaire Demand Dries Up

Ron Rosano is one of the world’s most dedicated space tourists.

A 65-year-old property manager from San Francisco, he completed a short trip aboard a Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. spaceplane in 2023 and until recently was expecting to fly more than 60 miles above the Earth on one of Jeff Bezos-founded Blue Origin LLC’s New Shepard rockets.
