I think that was called Star Trek.

And we are bringing people into this future anyway possible. We now have a lot of the sci-fi products that could be found in Star Trek.
And, if it was economical to work together instead of killing each other because they come from someplace else than we could do a lot more good.

Anyway, I think the one problem NASA has is that they are too 'big', yet their budget is the right size. Or at least they cover too many areas just because they deal with space. NOAA and the EPA should be responsible for earth science from space. The USDA should be funding plant experiments on the space station.
Materials science can be done by universities of other gov. agencies.
NASA should be working on major leaps in science that involve space propulsion, space habitat, rockets, satellites, and probes.
