One huge advantage for the United States would be to have a military base in orbit around the Earth.  This base would have access to a high-powered camera for photographs of enemy territory, and also would be able to have satellite communication with a base back in the United States.
     Commercial space transportation seems to have more positive benefits than negative consequences.  The advantages from a military standpoint, the economic impact, and the rights to the skies could be ours in the next few decades.  What we need to be careful of is the dangers.  Sending people into space that are not prepared, insurance claims if or when anything could go wrong, and misusing the space could be possible risks that need to minimized, and only then can commercial space flight and exploration commence.
