The linkages of national aspirations and space exploration are investigated in this essay. The claim of a national imperative for space flight and space exploration seems to be fundamentally linked and will probably be so for the foreseeable future. In public perception the major space programs will remain a province of governmental agencies, the private spaceflight will to remain at least for the next decade or so a small portion of the overall space projects. There exists one exception to the rule of strictly national involvement in space exploration, the International Space Station (ISS). However, with the announcement of the Vision for Space Exploration (VSE) the United States, the most capable space faring nation seems to be relegating the global cooperative vision of human spaceflight for that of the national imperative.
