It would be interesting to have such a craft seek out new life and new civilizations in one of the many universes scientists know of. And even enter another demension to send back data. There would have to be a relay satellite at the edge of the other universe and/demension to relay the data back to earth because of the distance involved. What do you think?

They do not know how to do that.
Scientists do not know of any other universe or dimension, much less how to go there. They only hypothesize about such things using mathematical equations.

Well, NASA has sent spacecraft out to collect information about our solar system. However, it would take much much much too long to reach another galaxy and it would take double that time to get any information back from the probe. Voyager was launched in 1977 and it is just now reaching the edge of our solar system.

I think that would be a dream come true to many people, but it is impractical. Suppose the other universe/dimension is made up of anti-matter and we sent our probe there? Millions of dollars and perhaps many objects can be destroyed in the other universe/dimension! Or suppose that a more aggressive species of something like humans live there and they found out how to get back to us? We would all be slaves in their new world order! Or suppose that our probe crash landed on an inhabited planet and it rains radiation for millions of years, causing the deaths of many of those lives?? There are many reasons to do this, and many reasons not to. But then again, we have yet to prove or disprove the existence of alternate universes/dimensions.

How do you know that NASA isn't already sending missions to other dimensions and universes? This would be a top top top secret project, known only to a few key government and industry insiders.
The more disturbing idea is the plethora of probes coming to our planet from other dimensions and universes. Smile, you're on inter-dimensional camera.

It takes almost 2 years to reach Mars in out current abilities and up to 10 hours to recieve video footage from the rovers we have there.
It is impossible given our current tech to be able to do it.
Assuming of course you actually mean Galaxies and not Universes, as there is only one. Unless you talk of Parallels and such.
The nearest is Canis Drawf Galaxy and it is 25,000 Light years away. Meaning at the speed of light it would take that long to get there. Everyone would be dead.

That is every NASA scientists dream. However, its practically impossible because of current limitations on the speed and capacity of spacecraft and communications.

It would be interesting but unfortunately the existence of other universes is purely theoretical. If the existence of other universes were proven there would be the problem of how to get there and after that problem has been solved you have the problem of where you would appear in the other universe, the chances are that you would not appear anywhere near anything.

That would be cool, but not trying to bring you down, but we would never know what the outcome is. They are many many lightyears away and even then it would have to move at the speed of light, which is impossible. Plus, even if it made it there we would have to wait more years, and I am speaking many generations later, just to get the signal transmitted back.

Well, for one thing, other dimensions and universes are purely theoretical - there's no real way to test that, MUCH LESS find a way to actually go there. You might as well ask why NASA isn't wasting their money trying to launch a shuttle to heaven.

Firstly, because we don't have the technology to do so, and probably won't have until at least 100 - 200yrs from now (if at all).
And secondly because they've been severely held back by skinflit politicians ever since the last Moon landing.
