I was a little confused by this post. Is tourism not an economic reason? But I now think the claim is something like “there may not be any benefit to the Earth economy from going to space”
Yes, tourism is economic, but most accounts I seen of economic reasons to go to space focus on primary and secondary sector ideas, not services. I decided that the phrasing I used, though technically incorrect on that point, was easier for most people to parse.

I didn’t have the economic sector concept before this comment. Thanks!
