Ok,Larry, it's very interesting and let's go further.
A Polar orbit or a geostationnary orbit have never been reached by manned spacecrafts, so far.
True, the only reason for polar orbits is a view of our planet, but this can better be done by improving observation satellites.
A Geostationnary orbit might be interesting if there's a need to repair a malfunctioning satellite, but this would require an ELV anyway, so replacing a malfunctioning satellite by another new one would be more cost effective than (expensively) repairing a degraded one.
There's surely a market for really equatorial orbits (from Kourou or Sea Launch) and a station at that orbit; now, how high should this station be? The guess would be higher than the current ISS (to prevent rapid decay), say 600 km or 750 km.
The station (or multiple platforms) would be used as a microgravity factory (if the market still exists), a relay station for much further destinations, and a space hotel for tourists.
And the capsules would probably mainly be used to ship the largest crew possible for the equatorial station and stay up there for as long as possible; perhaps, redock with a spaceship for even further destinations (if there's an incentive for that, of course); the advantage being that the capsule would already be existing when the spaceship could be envisaged.
