Just as we were/are a sea faring nation: We should never cede the high ground of space.

While I can support and promote the private [American] access to space; from a military point of view, we need to be there. And it is in that context that I support a national space program.

And from a purely Earth human point of view, we need to be in space. I would prefer that Russia and China not be the only human players.
