While I'd like to see the US in space, I'd prefer it be private entities and not the US military. I see no reason why space should be any different than earth. Territories, borders, nations and ownership of property should still be protected out there but we shouldn't be preventing people from staking claims. It's big enough for everybody.

I'm we should tell businesses and private individuals that we won't stand in their way if they want to do anything in space. We'll get out there a lot quicker than if we've gotta wait for the US government to get us out there.
