The National Science Foundation, DoE, and NASA need to work together to create a vision of what they are going to do in the next 10 years. Push the envelope a little, even if they fail they will have learned a lot.
It might be harnessing anti-matter, finding dark energy, faster than light (or even 1/2 light speed) space craft, faster than light communication (this might not be possible), testing fusion power generation in zero-g. And other stuff like that.
