They are asking for money to keep their jobs looking for something so elusive, when we haven't fully explored our own world. There are species undiscovered, depths uncharted..... so many reasons to stop looking to the sky and start looking around us.
There are other agencies/groups for studying those things, like NOAA for example. So NASA getting money for its programs doesn't really effect our ability to research the things you list. And if you're just looking for the money to fund your research, there are lot better choices for cutting funding than NASA, in my mind. So I think we can and should have them both.
