Still pretty sure that the probability that you get rich enough to get into space is higher, than the probability that you be luckily selected by NASA.

Assume that 1M$ is what you will need to get into space. It takes some flair and some favorable conditions, but I think that ~0.1 to 1% of the population can get 1M$. Much less than 0.1% of the population is selected by NASA to go to space.
