I think that Frank Schätzing got it right in his 1000+ pages novel "Limit" when envisioning a future where the American space program is privately funded exclusively and by that step wins back (not keeping but winning back) the lead from the centralised state programs in China and Russia. Inclusive holographic Google glasses, flying motorbikes, an orbital lift, and a hotel on the moon.
