I personally believe that Earth will never unite into one government. I also believe that the private sector will have a lot to do with space - one reason I believe the US will have the edge in space colonization, since the other major powers (Russia, China) don't have the huge private sectors like the US does. For example, many Russians were amazed that a private company could own 747s.
