I heard his speech yesterday, and certainly didn't get the impression that he was abandoning space. On the contrary, he's encouraging commercial exploitation of space, and commercial competition is the best way to encourage innovation and drive down costs. The only way to make space "mainstream" is to take it out of the hands of government, and into a commercial proposition.
