The United States cannot send people into space anymore. Americans must now hitch rides on Russian spacecraft to get up to, or down from, the space station.
The US Air Force Space Command can send smaller satellites into orbit. But the United States has no heavy-lifting rocket to carry the heavy loads that a real space program needs. NASA had a heavy-lift rocket ship under development, one using shuttle-like boosters. But Barack H. Obama, the man how holding office as President, canceled that.

NASA has always had private contractors to build spacecraft that NASA would launch and run. Now some of these contractors, plus some new companies, will design, build and run their own rocket ships and other spacecraft. Virgin Galactic, the “space touring” company, has already tested a spacecraft that carries six passengers and two pilots.
These “space taxi” services could resupply the space station as soon as 2013. And they could, in theory, develop a ship powerful enough to put a payload, or a crew, into orbit.
