Because there is no collateral. The only reason that real estate can be financed, is because the collateral is there, they have the legal system behind them to kick you out, and real estate prices usually don't drop much over time. Space tourism would need to be financed like most trips, cash/credit card prepaid. If financed like a house, and some insurance company would take it on, the default rate would make the insurance costs exorbit(;->)ant.
