Many medical research organizations have more money than they know what to do with. The heart and stroke foundation is a great example of that. I’m not suggesting we don’t fund these orgs, even reduce funding, but i feel like we could diversify into exploration of the universe a little more than we currently are.

I wonder if we should just spend more money on basic science. There could be discoveries that are just as transformative as DNA that is the key we need to progress treatment of disease. And space exploration could be a part of that basic science.
I don't know how you come to this conclusion. I assume you mean the American Heart Association, whose grants are pretty incredibly competitive. Lots of good science doesn't get funded.
