Yes. By sharing outer space: I mean with countries led by anti-American regimes.
Whatever happens in space, I would want the U.S. to be the undisputed leaders.

Well you are one of the first on FR with a positive view of manned exploration. Most are negative or hohum types. The problem we have is that whenever one administration announces a program, the next reduces or eliminates it.
What we need is a national, not a party, goal to explore space, one that cannot be easily altered on some political whim of the moment.
However, the obstacles to overcome are huge. All the many advances in science, living standards, tech like cell phones, computers, medical devices - all originated as a result of the US manned space program. But that was so long ago, many just assume that those things always existed and just came about for unknown reasons. Basically it a problem in overcoming ignorance and in some cases willful ignorance.
I have no suggestions, just pointing out some of the problems.
