I disagree, I'd say that there is an enormous initial investment required to a) get to space in the first place, and b) develop the technology needed to sustain life indefinitely in space, but the potential payout is huge, once we've figured it out.
I predict instead that the number of living people who have traveled in space will always be greater than 50% of the set of all people who have traveled in space.
