Space Tourist
Nifty promotional video from Virgin Galactic, showing SpaceShip Two flight-tests. Say what you will about Richard Branson (he can't stop you. Mostly), when it comes to space, he Gets It.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

Is his real name Delos D Harriman?
Branson is probably the closest thing we have to D.D. Harriman, I'd guess.
You know, I can easily picture Branson doing the "go to the moon to die" thing.
Personally, I just hope the cost of the SpaceShip Two flights comes down enough in my lifetime that I can afford to go even just once.
