Was the Jetsons Cartoon Prophetic? (part 4)

Space travel was part of life in The Jetsons, and the family sometimes visited the moon. Today, the option for commercial spaceflight is nearing reality, with companies like Virgin Galactic and Space X offering flights to the space station as early as 2017. The cost? A mere $250,000. Many have already reserved their seats! But the space station isn't the only possible destination, as talks for colonizing Mars become more and more serious each year.
