Sweden could have a spaceport in a decade

Kiruna is a town in Sweden which may never have heard, but the airport has enough air traffic through its departing flights to London and Tokyo, among other cities. Within a few years, this place could become the gateway to space for non-astronauts, and also plans to use the future even resort to launch commercial space flights (although obviously not to other worlds).
Spaceport Sweden is the firm that wants to offer space flight to Sweden in about 10 years, meaning that a small two-hour space flight will become daily for some. Currently, it is estimated that the capacity of the ships that will be used is six passengers excluding the small crew to be on board (which will probably be the pilot and one passenger). I guess if we start saving now for maybe in 10 years we can pay us one of these little trips.
Hopefully this can become a reality and that the technology required is available when the time comes.
