But it has nothing to do with manned spaceflight. U.S. is beyond doubt the space power #1 today, and it has nothing to do with manned flights.

I'd argue that the goals of manned space flight and meeting those goals are what put the USA on the path to be #1, so it seems to be to have something to do with manned flights.

Experience shows that the path to being #1 is usually to some extent doing a lot of stuff around the topic, throwing a lot of darts at the board and seeing what sticks.
