Until massive, major leaps in technology - perhaps impossible ones, as materials limitations may prevent things like a Beanstalk space elevator - rockets are going to continue to be the way we get to space.
That's fine for military and high return projects like satellites, not so good for casual tourism through.
Studied space technology as uni and one of the courses was insurance. Do you know how you insure a satellite launch -- you don't you build two satellites and two rockets
