Yes, you are not looking into the future and seeing it.
You said that the millionaire who can afford spaceflight will be bored with a view of the Earth and tried to insinuated that those who have been in space got bored with Earth. This as far as I know is not the case at all.
Let us invert this for a second.
Everytime I've put up my telescope (a cheap 4" newtonian) and offered a view of the Moon to my neighbors I've had to say stop or the Moon has set forcing them to find some other less visual celestial object to point at.
These are not a bunch of space fans and it was a big gray rock with dents in it.
I think it is safe to say that Space is a destination in itself.
I do worry about space sickens and it should effect over half those who journey there, but people get sea sick all the time and still spend their money going to sea.
On being jealous of the rich, I'm personally not. They currently do all kinds of stuff I can't afford and most I wouldn't do if I could. I have seen the richest man on earth run from a crowd and fear his fellow humans in a short elevator ride. Even Bill has his fears and worries.
