While I would love to see more private enterprise involved in the space industry, and I believe it'll come in time, it's not ready to take over at the point that NASA presently is. Personally, I believe it is a strategic mistake (on all kinds of levels) to voluntarily place ourselves in the position of having to depend upon other nations to get us into space...especially considering that one of those "partners" we have to depend upon just had 10 of their spies spying against us detained in our country.

Is there strategic value in manned space flight? And if so, is it something that will be an irreperable harm in the time it takes the private sector to get up to speed?

I see no connection with America's space program and Muslim world relations. NASA's future is grim, IMHO.
