NASA is not about alien hunts. It is about exploring our universe. quite a bit of modern technology has come from NASA, or has been made better or simpler by NASA. Who knows what discoveries lay out there, or what inventions will come out fo trying to explore the Universe, possibly an energy solution. NASA is working currently on a hydro power engine which also uses magnets. Really can't depend on modern rocketfuel to get us around the galaxy, they will have to find a solution, maybe that solution leads to a discovery that could benefit this world more than any other discovery ever made.
