Actually thats not true. Commercial space flights allows for higher speed of travel allowing for a flight from New York to Tokyo be made in less than 2 hours. Commercial space flight are closer to the public than you think, just not in terms of entertainment purposes as the one I posted, but as a mode of transportation. People would not need training to adjust to atmospheric conditions and artificial gravity can be made for the comfort of the passengers via centrifuge. The threats of terrorism would be no greater than it is today with the regular aviation industry.
Companys like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Airbus (the big 3 in the aerospace industry), are working out solutions to make commerical space flight affordable for the public. This what they in-vision as the future for travel.
