Except the private sector is carrying that torch now. Thanks SpaceX. Thanks Google. Reality is that we have 4-5 spacecraft docked at the ISS right now
Carrying the torch? Yes - advancing fast enough to allow deep space travel, colonies, etc in the next 100 years? Highly doubtful.
Google has a shite load of money, but not full NASA budget money and resources.

NASAs 2016 budget is like ~$19b
Google brought in ~$73.5B revenue in 2015..
We have the technology today to colonize our solar system and to terraform near-habitable planets. Deep space travel.. well.. we should start in our own neighborhood first.
