Well, no. That's how I got my degrees... coming up with some new ideas and new concepts that hadn't been explored or discovered before. They did reject one of my mathematically linked ideas (modeling communication) because it had already been done in a fairly obscure paper that I hadn't seen before.
You don't get a PhD/Masters by rehashing old concepts (not in the sciences, anyway.)

If you mean NASA, they are simply engineers and scientists with a mission... and the mission is NOT to "look over every idea, no matter how likely, that someone sends to them" (which is lots and lots, by the way, on a daily basis. They do not have a department devoted to "looking at hypotheses by the public." They don't have time for that. They've got a heck of a workload that revolves around their missions.

Like you?
No, seriously. A real scientist KNOWS they don't know all the answers, and that's actually an exciting concept. If we know all the answers then there's no need for scientists -- it can all be handled by engineers.

They don't have a "Department For Responding To People's Ideas." That's why they're not answering... because you and everyone else with An Idea would balk at a "no, it doesn't work like that" and then start asking questions or trying to engage in an exploratory conversation (as you may have seen if you've engaged with a Flat Earther) and they don't have a department for that.
That's what forums are for. Like the astronomy forums.
Not NASA.
