FTL travel is impossible by all applications of physics we currently have.
Pretty much all your suggestions are impossible to accomplish within the next ten years.
But that doesn't mean I don't agree with the sentiment. I do, actually. NASA is important, and nothing yeilds unexpected results and tangible accomplishments than pure science. Case in point, digital watches and digital photography are both spring directly from NASA projects.
Moon bases and Martian explorations may seem like wastes of money until they produce something tangible. And the amount of H3 on the moon would make it worthwhile in and of itself, it seems to me.
