@1. Bifurcation is a logical fallacy. NASA is not an opportunity cost from environmental activities, it is alongside and separate. Taking billions from NASA would not free them up to be used on the environment. And, of course, a free, democratic government can only take curative measures with extra money.

I, for one, welcomes our new acetylene-hydrogen combining alien overlords…

The potential ingredients are there…but I bet it’s too cold for anything to get started. The Earth had volcanoes, steam and heat from the sun…plus all the other elements that are needed for life (that we know of) that they don’t mention as being known of on Titan (is there sulphur, etc?). Although fascinating…I think spending billions to find out if some weird bacteria-like creature exists in an ethane lake is a waste of money…especially as the only decent planet known is sick and decaying under our careless use/abuse. Spending billions to suck up some ehtane by a probe vs. billions to say…go towards helping our oceans from acidifying and turning to algae filled murky sludge filled with jellyfish. I vote for keeping the money here…
