You are absolutely correct. I'll go you one better; that the passion for space flight will diminish as two things happen.

1. The baby boomers die-off. X Generation are mildly interested, Y Generation will be into it so long as someone else does all the hard work and that their Play Station and X-Box can come along too.

2. As global economics worsens (can't see an end to that). Nuff said there.

Unfortunately, I cannot see much more than a spark of interest throughout the general public, let alone a space-race flame. Sad, but true.
