As such, what has the current administration accomplished in moving forward with space exploration? The shuttle has been retired. I believe private investment is engineering craft for manned space flight.

The Space Shuttle needed to be retired to clear funds for spacecraft that are specialized for BEO activities. Honestly, the current administration hasn't really been better or worse than the recent previous ones in my opinion(Bush, Clinton, Reagan). We haven't really had an administration that really cared about space since JFK/LBJ.
