If the new-wave space entrepreneurs manage to radically change the economics of space travel as they promise to do, kids in high school today could spend a slice of their careers working in space, not as astronauts but the way a young diplomat or banker today might take a posting in London or Hong Kong. By 2030, it's possible that many dozens of people at a time will be working and living in space. (These days, typically, there are six people.) [Source: Smithsonian]
