Im pretty sure the market is much bigger than a 1000 people. If they have 500 pre orders already, Im thinking tens of thousands will be up for this type of trip over a span of 10 years. Thats enough for it to be worth while as an investment and a "service" which at the end of the day this is a business.
The one thing Im worried about however is, reviews... If the first people review the experience badly and say the 200k isnt worth the 5 min in space, people will most likely pass until there is better, maybe longer trips available.
