FTS is small and innovative, but UP has done some of the truly entrepreneurial stuff in space lately. It is a launch services and systems integrator. They have a Spaceloft vehicle that got the price down low enough so that I would guess they have flown over 1000 students experiments to (suborbital) space. You can check their site at upaerospace.us.com/. In terms of commercializing space for the common man, you might also look at Celestis. It's really a marketing and event firm that has been coordinating flights of ashes (cremated remains) into space for a decade, but they could be an important "retail aggregator" of small flights. Their site is celestis.com/ Bryan:
